menolong orang Makassar, yang menggunakan bahasa Makassar sehari-hari di rumah

dan di kampung, berhasil membuat peralihan ke bahasa nasional yang dipelajari di

sekolah dan yang digunakan secara tertulis berbagai naskah. Untuk tujuan ini bahasa

Makassar tersebut tidak diterjemahkan kata-per-kata, melainkan diterjemahkan ke

dalam bahasa Indonesia standar dengan pengertian sepadan.

Dikalangan juga anak sekolah maupun pegawai telah nampak adanya suatu

kegemaran yang menarik dalam pengetahuan bahasa Inggris. Meskipun bukan tujuan

utama dipersiapkan buku ini, namun diusahakan agar terjemahan bahasa Inggris itu

tepat sehingga dapat bermanfaat bagi mereka yang tertarik untuk belajar bahasa

Inggris.

PREFACE

This first edition of the Makasar-Indonesian-English conversations was prepared

by Barbara Friberg UNHAS-PPS with the assistance of Kembong Daeng IKIP.

This book includes over 100 conversations about everyday situations in Makasar

villages and has been prepared for the Makasar people to use in various ways. First, it

is hoped that this book will help the people to make an effective transition between

the Makasar language which is spoken in their homes and villages and the national

language which is taught in their schools and used in written materials of every kind.

With this in mind, the Indonesian is not merely a word-for-word translation of the

Makasar but rather a clear rendering in the standard language of the equivalent

meanings.

There also seems to be an avid interest in learning English among Makasar

students. Although this is not a specific goal in preparing this book, we aimed to give

good English translations so that those interested in learning English will find these

conversations useful.

The Makasar writing system is consistent with Indonesian.
