Itu dapat diterima dalam situasi sehari-hari. Tetapi ada saatnya anda ingin membuatnya

lebih baik. Dan pada saat itu, anda pasti ingin dapat menggunakan bahasa Inggris bisnis.

What's the difference between general English and business English? Well, sometimes, there's

Apa perbedaan antara bahasa Inggris umum dan bahasa Inggris bisnis?

Terkadang ada tidak terlalu banyak perbedaan. Terkadang, bahasa Inggris umum digunakan dalam konteks bisnis.

not very much difference. Sometimes, general English is used in business contexts. But

Tetapi terkadang, anda menggunakan kata tingkat tinggi. Dan itulah yang akan saya ajarkan pada anda dalam pelajaran ini.

sometimes, you use a higher-level word. And that's what I'm going to teach you in this

lesson. Let's look at some really easy, common examples.

Mari kita lihat beberapa contoh umum yang sangat mudah.

For example, if you say -- or if you want to say, "I got your email", in regular English,

Misalnya, jika anda berkata, atau jika anda ingin mengatakan, "I got your email", dalam Bahasa Inggris reguler,

you might just say, "I got your email." What would you say if you want to make it business

anda mungkin hanya berkata, "I got your email." Apa yang akan anda katakan jika anda ingin menjadikannya Bahasa Inggris Bisnis?

English? You would say -- I'm giving you a clue. The word starts with R. Instead of saying,

Anda akan mengatakan

Saya memberi Anda petunjuk. Kata itu dimulai dengan huruf R.

Alih-alih mengatakan, "I got your email"

"I got your email"; "I received your email."

"I received your email."

Okay? Now, it becomes more formal and more business-like.

Oke? Sekarang, ini menjadi lebih formal dan lebih seperti bisnis.

Suppose you want to tell someone, "I need your help" or, "I need some help." What word

Misalkan anda ingin memberi tahu seseorang, "I need your help" atau "I need some help."

Kata apa yang bisa Anda gunakan yang dimulai dengan huruf R sebagai pengganti "Need"?

could you use that starts with R instead of "need"?

"Require." So instead of saying -- and

"Require"

Jadi bukan hanya mengucapkan, anda juga dapat mengubah lebih dari kata kerja. Kata kerjanya adalah kuncinya, tetapi sebagai gantinya anda bisa

you can also change more than the verb. The verb is the key, but you could say -- instead

of saying, "I need some help", you could say, "I require some assistance." Now, you've changed

mengatakan, "I need some help", anda bisa mengatakan, "I require some assistance" Sekarang, kamu sudah mengubah dua kata

two words, the verb and also a noun.

kata kerja dan juga kata benda

Let's try another one. "Let's talk about it later." Which business word could you use?

Mari kita coba yang lain. "Let's talk about it later." Kata bisnis apa yang bisa anda gunakan?

"Let's discuss -- let's discuss it later." That sounds much more professional than saying,

"Let's..

"..discuss - let's discuss it later." Kedengarannya jauh lebih profesional daripada mengatakan,

"Let's talk about it later."

"Let's talk about it later."

Next one. "How do I get in touch with her?" What word could you use instead of that?

Selanjutnya. "How do I get in touch with her?" Kata apa yang bisa anda gunakan selain itu?

"How do I contact her?" Okay? Good.

"How do I contact her?" Oke? Bagus.

"Please make sure you arrive on time." Which business word could you use instead of "make sure"?

"Please make sure you arrive on time." Kata bisnis mana yang dapat Anda gunakan sebagai "make sure"?

"Please ensure you arrive on time."

"Please ensure - please ensure you arrive on time."

"Please give her your travel plans." Instead of saying "give", you could say,

"Please give her your travel plans." Alih-alih mengatakan "give", anda bisa mengatakan,

"Please provide her with your itinerary."

"Please provide her with your itinerary."

There, we've changed another word. Instead of saying "travel plan" or "travel plans",

Ini dia, kami telah mengubah kata lain. Alih-alih mengatakan "travel plan" atau "travel plans",

you could use the word "itinerary".

anda bisa menggunakan kata "itinerary".

An "itinerary" is usually a piece

"itinerary" biasanya merupakan bagian kertas atau dokumen yang mencantumkan rencana perjalanan anda,

of paper or a document that lists your travel plans, when you're departing, when you're

ketika anda berangkat, saat anda tiba, di mana, kapan, dan seterusnya.

arriving, where, when, and so on.

"Please let them know when you will be arriving." "Please let them know" -- instead of that,

"Please let them know when you will be arriving." "Please let them know"

sebagai gantinya anda bisa mengatakan, "Please inform them of your arrival." Oke? Bagus.

you could say, "Please inform them of your arrival." Okay? Good.

"Please tell me why you've made this decision."

"Please tell me why you've made this decision."

"Please explain your decision."

"Please explain your decision."

"Could you please talk some more about that subject?"

"Could you please talk some more about that subject?"

"Could you please

"Could you please

elaborate? Could you please elaborate on that."

elaborate? Could you please elaborate on that."

Now, this is actually a very useful word if you go to a

Sekarang, ini sebenarnya kata yang sangat berguna jika anda pergi ke sebuah konferensi atau pertemuan

conference or a meeting and you want someone to speak some more about a particular point

dan anda ingin seseorang berbicara lebih banyak tentang hal atau masalah tertentu.

or issue. It's a good, kind of, question to learn. "Could you please elaborate on that?"

Ini pertanyaan yang bagus, semacam, untuk dipelajari. "Could you please elaborate on that?"

So "to elaborate" means to speak more or talk more, give more information.

Jadi "to elaborate" berarti berbicara lebih banyak atau berkata lebih banyak, memberikan lebih banyak informasi.

"How are you going to fix this problem?" Better than using the word "fix" is the word

"How are you going to fix this problem?" Kata yang lebih baik digunakan daripada "fix" adalah kata

"solve".

"solve"

"How are you going to solve this problem?" All right? So try to do that for every simple

"How are you going to solve this problem?" Mengerti? Jadi cobalah lakukan itu untuk setiap kata sederhana
