Selamat pagi. : Good Morning midnight -11am
selamat siang : Good mid-day 11am - 3pm
selamat sore : good afternoon : 3pm - 6pm
selamat malam : good evening/night : 6pm - midnight
Sampai nanti : See you later
Terima kasih : Thank you
Kembali : Your are welcome
Apa kabar: : How are you
Baik-baik saja. (dan Anda?) : Just fine (and you?)
Baik sekali. : Very good
Ulangi(lah) : Please repeat

Adding 'lah' to some orders like duduk-lah puts the request in a pleasant tone. Similar to sit please. Duduk - sit
