LESSON 2

If you want to ask someone about his/her certainty, you may say:
- Are you sure? (Apakah kamu yakin?)
- Are you positive? (Apakah kamu yakin?)
- Are you certain that Mr.MyHope will come? (Yakin kah kamu bahwa Mr.MyHope akan datang?)
And you may respond :
- Yes, of course (Ya tentu)
- Yes, I am sure  ( Ya, saya yakin)
- Yes, I am certain
- Yes, I am positive ...
If you are not certain you may answer :
- I am not sure  ( Saya tidak yakin)
- I am not positive
- I am not certain
- I doubt it  ( Saya meragukannya)
Pay this dialogue carefully:
Mr. My Hope : My computer doesn't work well. Do you know what happened to it?
Mr. Montir      : It may be disturbed by viruses.
Mr. My Hope : Are you positive? But last night, it worked well.
Mr. Montir     : I am not certain. But let's check it to ensure.

Now it's time for you to practise. Good Luck!
