Bukan or Tidak
In this lesson, you will learn how to use BUKAN or TIDAK
Both BUKAN and TIDAK translate as NO
The main thing: BUKAN negates the noun that comes right after it; TIDAK negates everything else
For example:
I am not a Japanese person = Saya bukan orang Jepang
Because: the thing being negated is ORANG JEPANG, and orang is a NOUN
I do not live in Japan = Saya tidak tinggal di Jepang
Because: the thing being negated is TINGGAL DI JEPANG and tinggal is NOT A NOUN
