Kosakata Dasar Bahasa Inggris - Bagian 3 · 50 pelajaran
What does “Honored To Make Your Acquaintance” mean?
Correct Answer: A. Senang bertemu dengan Anda.
"Honored to make your acquaintance" is a polite, formal way of saying you're pleased to meet someone. "Senang bertemu dengan Anda" translates to "Happy/pleased to meet you" in Indonesian—this matches the friendly, positive meaning perfectly.
Why B is wrong:
"Tidak senang bertemu dengan Anda" means "Not happy to meet you" or "Unhappy to meet you." This is the opposite of what the phrase means—it's negative instead of positive.
What does “Toast To Our Meeting” mean?
# Explanation
A is correct: "Toast To Our Meeting" means to raise a glass and celebrate an occasion—in this case, your meeting. A "toast" is a celebratory gesture, so this phrase expresses joy and appreciation for the encounter.
B is wrong: The word "not" (tidak) changes the meaning completely. "Toast To Our Meeting" is clearly positive and celebratory, not a rejection of the meeting.
What does “Charming To Meet You” mean?
A is correct: "Charming to meet you" is a polite, friendly greeting expressing pleasure at meeting someone. "Senang bertemu dengan Anda" means "Pleased/happy to meet you" — which matches this meaning perfectly.
B is wrong: "Tidak senang bertemu dengan Anda" means "Not pleased to meet you" or "Unhappy to meet you" — this is the opposite of what the phrase means and would be rude.
What does “Delighted To Bump Into You” mean?
Correct Answer: A
"Delighted to bump into you" means you're happy to meet someone unexpectedly. "Delighted" = happy/pleased, and "bump into" = meet by chance. So this phrase expresses joy at an unplanned encounter.
Why B is wrong:
Option B says "Tidak senang" (not happy/unhappy), which contradicts the word "delighted." The phrase is positive, not negative.
What does “How Are You Fairing?” mean?
A is correct: "How are you faring?" is an idiom meaning "How are you doing?" or "What's your situation?" It's a polite question asking about someone's condition or progress.
B is wrong: The phrase absolutely shows *interest* in the other person's state—that's literally the point of asking. If someone didn't care, they wouldn't ask this question at all.
What does “Greetings, Fellow Traveler” mean?
# Explanation
Correct Answer (A): "Greetings, Fellow Traveler" is a friendly greeting that acknowledges someone who shares your journey—literally or figuratively. "Fellow" means someone in the same situation, and "traveler" refers to someone on a journey, so this phrase welcomes someone as a companion on a shared path.
Why B is wrong: This option says the phrase is used to *reject* someone on a different journey, which is the opposite of what the phrase does. "Greetings" is welcoming, not rejecting, and the phrase doesn't imply exclusion or disagreement.
What does “Honored To Exchange Words” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Honored to exchange words" means feeling respected and valued during conversation. "Honored" = feeling proud/privileged, and "exchange words" = have a conversation. Together, it expresses appreciation for talking with someone.
Why B is wrong: Option B reverses the meaning—it says feeling ashamed and not appreciating conversation, which is the opposite of "honored." The word "honored" is always positive, never shameful.
What does “Elated To Cross Paths” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Elated" means extremely happy and delighted, and "cross paths" means to meet someone by chance. Together, the phrase describes feeling happy and fortunate when unexpectedly running into someone.
Why B is wrong: "Terdepresi dan sedih" (depressed and sad) is the opposite emotion. "Elated" is a positive feeling, not negative.
What does “Joyful Encounter” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Joyful Encounter" breaks down as "joyful" (happy, delighted) + "encounter" (meeting). So it means a happy and pleasant meeting—exactly what option A says in Indonesian.
Why B is wrong: Option B says the opposite—an unhappy and unpleasant meeting. That contradicts the word "joyful," which always means happy or cheerful, never sad or unpleasant.
What does “How Do You Fare?” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "How do you fare?" means to ask how someone is doing or managing—it's a caring question about their well-being. "Fare" means to get along or do well, so this phrase shows genuine concern for the other person.
Why B is wrong: This option says the question is asked *without* caring about someone's well-being. That contradicts the meaning—if you ask "How do you fare?" you're specifically checking in on them because you care. The phrase wouldn't make sense as an uncaring question.
What does “Hail, Good Comrade” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Hail, Good Comrade" is a greeting expression. "Hail" means to greet or welcome someone, and "good comrade" shows friendly recognition—so together it's a friendly hello to acknowledge a companion.
Why B is wrong: "Penolakan" means rejection or refusal, but "Hail, Good Comrade" is positive and welcoming, not dismissive. The phrase actively recognizes and greets someone rather than ignoring them.
What does “Pleased To Make Contact” mean?
Correct Answer: A
"Pleased To Make Contact" means you're happy or glad to meet/connect with someone. "Pleased" = happy, and "make contact" = establish a connection or meet. This is a polite, friendly greeting phrase.
Why B is wrong:
Option B says "unhappy to establish a personal relationship," which is the opposite meaning. "Pleased" is positive, not negative, so this reverses the entire sense of the phrase.
What does “Charmed, I'M Sure” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Charmed, I'm sure" is a polite, formal greeting expressing pleasure at meeting someone. It means you're delighted or pleased to make their acquaintance.
Why B is wrong: This option says it expresses *dissatisfaction* at meeting someone, which is the opposite of what the phrase means. "Charmed" conveys positive feelings, not negative ones.
What does “Hail And Well Met” mean?
A is correct: "Hail and well met" is an old-fashioned greeting meaning a warm, friendly welcome. It expresses genuine pleasure at meeting someone.
B is wrong: This says "cold and unfriendly greeting," which is the opposite of what the phrase means. "Hail and well met" is always positive and welcoming, never cold or hostile.
What does “Delighted By Your Presence” mean?
Correct Answer: A
"Delighted" means very happy or pleased, and "by your presence" means because you are here. So the phrase means feeling joyful about someone being with you.
Why B is wrong: "Tidak nyaman" means uncomfortable or uneasy—the opposite of what "delighted" expresses. Delighted is always positive emotion, never negative.
What does “What's Popping?” mean?
A is correct because "What's Popping?" is a casual, friendly greeting that asks what's new or what's happening in someone's life—similar to "What's up?" or "What's going on?"
B is wrong because the phrase is not a rude goodbye at all. It's a warm, informal greeting meant to show interest in someone and start a conversation, not to dismiss them or show you don't care.
What does “Trust You'Re Well” mean?
Correct answer (A): "Trust you're well" is a respectful greeting expressing hope that someone is in good health or good spirits. It's a polite, caring phrase used to check on someone's wellbeing.
Why B is wrong: It says the phrase expresses hope for *bad* health or spirits—the opposite of what "well" means. "Well" always refers to good condition, not poor condition.
What does “Good Day To You” mean?
A is correct because "Good Day To You" is a polite greeting that wishes someone to have a good day. It's friendly and positive in tone.
B is wrong because it describes the phrase as a rude farewell wishing someone a bad day—the complete opposite of what "Good Day To You" actually means. The phrase is respectful, not harsh, and expresses goodwill, not negativity.
What does “Thrilled To See You” mean?
A is correct because "thrilled to see you" expresses genuine excitement and joy at meeting someone—it's an enthusiastic greeting showing happiness.
B is wrong because it describes a farewell (goodbye), not a greeting (hello). Also, "thrilled" means excited and happy, not indifferent or unenthusiastic.
What does “Nice Crossing Paths” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Nice crossing paths" is a friendly expression meaning you're happy to encounter someone. "Nice" signals warmth, and "crossing paths" refers to meeting by chance—together they express pleasant feelings about the encounter.
Why B is wrong: The phrase contains the word "nice," which is positive, not negative. Option B contradicts this by suggesting unfriendliness and displeasure (kesal/upset), which is the opposite of what the expression conveys.
What does “Happy To See You” mean?
A is correct because "Happy To See You" literally means you're pleased and glad when you encounter someone—it's a warm greeting expressing joy at meeting them.
B is wrong because it contradicts the phrase's meaning in multiple ways:
- It describes a *farewell*, not a greeting
- It says "without happiness" and "unhappiness," which is the opposite of what "happy" means
- The phrase is about *meeting* someone, not parting from them
What does “Privileged To Meet You” mean?
# Explanation
Correct Answer (A): "Privileged to meet you" is a respectful greeting that expresses honor and the privilege of meeting someone. The word "privileged" means feeling honored or fortunate, and this phrase is used to show genuine respect and appreciation when meeting someone important or valued.
Why B is wrong: This option describes a *disrespectful farewell* with shame and insult. However, "privileged to meet you" is actually the *opposite*—it's a respectful *greeting* (not farewell) that conveys honor and appreciation, not disrespect or shame.
What does “Stoked To Make Your Acquaintance” mean?
# Explanation
A is correct: "Stoked" means excited or enthusiastic, and "make your acquaintance" means to meet someone. Together, this phrase is an enthusiastic greeting expressing genuine happiness about meeting someone new.
B is wrong: This option reverses the meaning entirely. The phrase shows *high* interest and enthusiasm, not lack of interest. Also, it's a greeting, not a farewell.
What does “Blessed To Cross Paths” mean?
Correct Answer (A):
"Blessed to cross paths" means feeling grateful and fortunate to have met someone. The word "blessed" indicates gratitude and good fortune, so this phrase expresses appreciation for the encounter.
Why B is wrong:
Option B says the expression is ungrateful and means feeling unlucky—this is the opposite of what "blessed" means. "Blessed" always conveys positive emotion and thankfulness, not misfortune or ingratitude.
What does “Delight To See You” mean?
Correct Answer (A):
"Delighted to see you" is a warm greeting expressing genuine joy and happiness when meeting someone. The word "delighted" means very pleased, and "to see you" shows this happiness is directed at the other person's presence.
Why B is wrong:
Option B describes a *farewell* (perpisahan) with dissatisfaction, which is the opposite meaning. "Delighted to see you" is a *greeting* (sapaan) showing happiness, not unhappiness at parting.
What does “Bright Morning To You” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Bright Morning" contains positive words—"bright" means luminous/cheerful and "morning" is the start of the day. This is a warm, uplifting greeting to begin someone's day happily.
Why B is wrong: The words "bright" and "morning" have no sad or gloomy connotations. A greeting with those words would never convey sadness or darkness—it's the opposite tone entirely.
What does “Fortunate To Encounter You” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Fortunate To Encounter You" literally means feeling lucky or blessed when meeting someone. "Fortunate" = lucky/blessed, and "encounter" = meet. This is a polite, positive expression used when you're happy to see or meet someone.
Why B is wrong: Option B says the opposite—feeling *unlucky or cursed*. That would be "Unfortunate To Encounter You," which is negative and would be insulting, not what this phrase means at all.
What does “Overjoyed To Meet You” mean?
A is correct because "overjoyed" means extremely happy or delighted, so the phrase means you're very happy to meet someone.
B is wrong because it says "sangat sedih" (very sad), which is the opposite of the actual meaning. "Overjoyed" has nothing to do with sadness.
What does “Privileged To Talk” mean?
Correct Answer (A): Merasa terhormat atau spesial untuk berbicara.
- "Privileged" means having a special honor or advantage that not everyone gets. When you're "privileged to talk," you feel honored or lucky to have the opportunity to speak, often because the person or situation is important or exclusive.
Why B is wrong:
- It says the opposite—"not honored or ordinary"—which contradicts what "privileged" means. Privilege means something *special*, not ordinary.
What does “Let's Make Conversations” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Let's Make Conversations" is an invitation or suggestion to start talking and discussing together. The word "Let's" means "we should" or "let us," which is an inviting tone, not a rejecting one.
Why B is wrong: "Penolakan" means "rejection" or "refusal." The phrase "Let's Make Conversations" is the opposite—it's asking people to *join* a conversation, not refuse one.
What does “Charmed By Your Company” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Charmed" means delighted or enchanted. When you're "charmed by someone's company," you genuinely enjoy being around them—they make you happy and engaged.
Why B is wrong: This describes the opposite meaning. "Charmed" is positive, not negative. If you were disappointed or unimpressed, you'd say something like "bored by their company" instead.
What does “Ready For A Chat?” mean?
Correct Answer (A): Bersiap atau bersedia untuk berbicara
- "Ready" means prepared or willing, and "chat" means to talk/converse
- Together, the phrase asks if someone is prepared to have a conversation
- This is a friendly, casual way to invite someone to talk
Why B is wrong:
- Option B means "not ready or not willing to talk" — the exact opposite
- The word "ready" in English is positive/affirmative, not negative
- Adding "not" would change the entire meaning
What does “Glad To Exchange Words” mean?
Correct Answer (A): Senang untuk berbicara atau berdiskusi.
"Glad to exchange words" means you're *happy* to talk and discuss with someone. "Glad" = happy/pleased, and "exchange words" = have a conversation. So this phrase shows a positive attitude toward communication.
Why B is wrong:
Option B says "tidak senang" (not happy/unwilling), which is the opposite meaning. If someone says they're "glad" to exchange words, they definitely *want* to talk, not that they don't want to.
What does “Chuffed To Say Hello” mean?
# Explanation
Correct Answer (A): "Chuffed" is a British slang term meaning pleased or delighted. When someone says they're "chuffed to say hello," they mean they're happy or satisfied to greet someone. It's a positive expression.
Why B is wrong: The phrase doesn't mean the opposite—it's not about being unhappy or dissatisfied. Adding "not" would completely change the meaning, and the original phrase has no negative word in it.
What does “Grateful For This Conversation” mean?
Correct Answer (A):
"Grateful" means thankful or appreciative, and "for this conversation" means about this discussion. So the phrase means you're expressing thanks and appreciation for the dialogue happening.
Why B is wrong:
Option B says the opposite—it means "not appreciating or not being thankful." The word "grateful" is positive, not negative, so this contradicts the actual meaning of the phrase.
What does “Hola Amigo” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Hola" means "hello" and "amigo" means "friend" in Spanish. This is a friendly greeting, so A is right.
Why B is wrong:
- "Amigo" means "friend," not "enemy" (enemigo)
- "Hola" is a greeting, not a farewell (adiós is goodbye)
- B incorrectly describes both the meaning and the purpose of the phrase
What does “Good To Make Your Acquaintance” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Good To Make Your Acquaintance" is a polite, formal phrase people use when they're pleased to meet someone new. It expresses friendliness and respect in a professional or social setting.
Why B is wrong: This phrase is the opposite of rude or negative—it's actually quite courteous and positive. There's no dissatisfaction or rudeness in this expression; it welcomes new connections warmly.
What does “How's The Horizon?” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "How's the Horizon?" uses "horizon" as a metaphor for the future and broad outlook. It asks about someone's prospects, opportunities, and general state of things ahead—not just right now. The horizon literally represents the distant view ahead.
Why B is wrong: Option B describes a "limited current state," which is the opposite of what the phrase means. The horizon symbolizes expansiveness and distance (the future), not limitation or the present moment.
What does “Thrilled To Bump Into You” mean?
Correct Answer (A):
"Thrilled" means very happy and excited, so this phrase shows positive enthusiasm about an unexpected meeting. "Bump into" is a casual idiom for running into someone by chance.
Why B is wrong:
"Thrilled" is a positive emotion, not disappointment. If someone were disappointed, they'd say something like "disappointed to bump into you" instead.
What does “Always Good To See A Friendly Face” mean?
Correct answer (A): "Always Good To See A Friendly Face" literally means it's pleasant to encounter someone you know well or like. A "friendly face" refers to someone familiar and welcoming, so this phrase expresses genuine happiness at meeting them.
Why B is wrong: The phrase has nothing to do with conflict or dissatisfaction. "Friendly" is positive, not negative. If someone had a conflict with you, they wouldn't call you a "friendly face."
What does “How's Your Adventure Going?” mean?
Correct Answer (A):
"Adventure" means an exciting, challenging, or thrilling experience. So this question asks someone to share updates about exciting or challenging events in their life—it's a friendly way to check in about interesting things happening to them.
Why B is wrong:
Option B says "boring and easy life events," which contradicts the meaning of "adventure." Adventures are by definition exciting and challenging, not boring or mundane. This is the opposite of what the phrase means.
What does “Good Day, Friend” mean?
Correct answer: A. Sapaan hangat kepada rekan (A warm greeting to a friend)
"Good Day, Friend" is a friendly greeting phrase, so it means a warm salutation to someone you know well.
Why B is wrong: "Perpisahan keras kepada saingan" means a harsh farewell to a rival. This is the opposite—"Good Day, Friend" is friendly and warm, not harsh, and it's a greeting, not a goodbye to an enemy.
What does “Blessed To Have Our Paths Cross” mean?
Correct Answer (A): This phrase expresses gratitude for a chance meeting with someone. "Blessed" means fortunate/grateful, and "paths cross" means meeting someone unexpectedly. Together, it's saying you're thankful the meeting happened.
Why B is wrong: "Penyesalan" (regret) contradicts the positive meaning of "blessed." The phrase celebrates a meeting, not regrets one.
What does “Cheerful Welcome To You” mean?
A is correct: "Cheerful Welcome To You" means a warm, joyful greeting—which matches "salam suka cita" (cheerful/joyful greeting) in Indonesian.
B is wrong: This translates to "sad farewell to someone," which is the opposite of what the phrase means. A welcome is a greeting when someone arrives, not a sad goodbye when they leave.
What does “Peaceful Greetings” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Peaceful Greetings" means calm and quiet gestures or words used to greet or acknowledge someone. The word "peaceful" indicates gentleness and tranquility, while "greetings" are ways of saying hello or recognizing others.
Why B is wrong: This option describes the opposite—it mentions chaotic, loud ways of *ignoring* someone, which contradicts both "peaceful" (calm) and "greetings" (acknowledging someone positively).
What does “Warmed By Your Presence” mean?
Correct answer (A): "Warmed by your presence" uses "warmed" as a metaphor for feeling emotionally comforted, safe, and valued. When someone's presence makes you feel this way, it means they make you happy and appreciated just by being there.
Why B is wrong: This option describes the *opposite* meaning—it talks about discomfort and feeling undervalued when someone is *absent*. "Warmed by your presence" is positive, not negative, and it's about someone *being there*, not being gone.
What does “Delighted To Converse” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Delighted to converse" means being very happy or pleased to talk with someone. "Delighted" = very happy, and "converse" = to have a conversation. So it describes someone who enjoys engaging in discussion.
Why B is wrong: This option says "feeling unhappy to avoid conversation," which is the opposite meaning. "Delighted" is positive, not negative, and "converse" means to participate, not to avoid.
What does “Upside Of My Day” mean?
Correct Answer (A): Bagian paling positif atau menguntungkan dari hari seseorang.
- "Upside" means the positive or better side of something. The "upside of my day" refers to the good things or bright moments that happened.
Why B is wrong:
- "Downside" means negative or harmful, not "upside." The prefix "up-" indicates something positive, while "down-" indicates something negative.
What does “Glad To Cross Lanes” mean?
Correct Answer (A): "Glad To Cross Lanes" means being *happy or willing to experience different situations or paths*. "Glad" = happy/willing, and "cross lanes" = move between different routes/situations, so it expresses openness to variety.
Why B is wrong: It says the *opposite*—"not happy to avoid"—which is awkwardly worded and misses the positive, proactive meaning. The phrase is about *embracing* different paths, not just avoiding avoidance.
