Best Answer

Differences - not many. Most Indonesian words are taken straight from English anyway. For example, 'hello' is 'halo' and 'apple' is 'apel'. One key difference, however, is that Indonesians always pronounce the letter 'c' as a ch- sound, like in chair. This means that 'cat' (which means paint) would be pronounced 'chat'. Therefore, the letter 'k' is used to represent a hard 'c'. So 'coupon' would be spelt 'kupon'.
