EXPRESSING CERTAINTY

Theory
To express the faith that something has been/ is being/ will happen, use the following phrases :
-I'm sure : Saya yakin
-I absolutely sure : Saya benar-benar yakin
-I'm certain : Saya yakin

Example
If you have question :
"Will Amir pass the exam?" = "Apakah Amir akan lulus ujian?"
Can respond with :
-"Yes, I'm sure he will" = "Ya, saya yakin dia akan lulus"

BARGAINING

Theory
1. A bargain is defined as something that you buy that costs less than it normally does.
A purchase made at a sale is an example of a bargain.
2. The definition of a bargain is an understanding between two people on the cost of goods or services.
If someone agrees to sell a product at 10 percent of as long as the other person orders at least 12, that is an example of a bargain.

Some Points to keep in mind
-Ask a trusted local
-See what locals pay

When bargaining, do so responsibly :
-Be honest
-Choose your battles
-Even in cultures where haggling is the norm, many items do have fixed price.

Example of conversation
X : Can I help you?
Y : Yes, thanks. I want to know how much that shirt is?
X : Which one, Sir?
Y : The blue one, please.
X : It is three hundred thousand rupiahs.
Y : It's too much. Can you let me have it for less?
X : I am sorry, Sir. But it's a good price.
Y : Okay then, I'll think about it.
X : That's alright, Sir.
