Various Form of Dengar In Movie Scenes

Dengar
Let's watch the basic word [dengar] in this scene below.

The conversation in this scene with English translation is as follows.

Alan: Tak bisakah kau menungguku, hingga.. (Can't you wait for me, until..) 

Prima: Woi! (Hey!) 

Alan: Alamak. Ah! Kau ini Prima, bikin kaget saja! Kau dengar baik-baik! Sekali lagi kau masuk ke kamar kos kaya gitu, kutumbuk kepala kau! (Oh my! You, Prima! You shocked me! You listen to me carefully! Once again, you come into this room like that, I will punch you in the face!) 

Prima: Iye, iye maap. Ngga usah ngegas gitu! (Sorry, sorry. No need to talk to me like that!)

Let's take a look at the sentence that is spoken in the scene using the word [dengar].

Kau dengar baik-baik!

Kau is you, baik-baik means carefully. So, the translation for this sentence is,

You listen to me carefully!

Because Alan really shocked when Prima came into the room like that, he was angry and by saying that he wanted Prima to really listen to him.

Let's watch another scene where this [dengar] is spoken. We will again see [dengar] in the scene below.

The conversation in this scene with English subtitle is as follows.

Alan: Jadi kau benar? Kau mau dengar ceritaku? (So, you want to hear my story?) 

Bambang: Iya mas. (Yes, I do.) 

Alan: Jadi begini ceritanya. (So, this is how the story goes.)

Next, we're going to watch the other forms of dengar.


Denger
Next, let's watch a scene. This is from Dilan 1991, a famous movie in Indonesia. Let's watch the scene below.

The conversation in this scene with English translation is as follows.

Dilan: Milea, kamu tahu aku bisa berhentiin ujan? (Milea, do you know that I can stop the rain?) 

Milea: Caranya? (How?) 

Dilan: Ujan, berhenti! (Rain, stop!) 

Milea: Mana? Kok ngga berhenti? (Why doesn't it stop?) 

Dilan: Oh iya. Ngga bisa denger dia, ngga punya kuping. Aku juga bisa berhentiin motor ini, kamu tahu? (I forgot. He couldn't hear, he doesn't have ears. Don't you know that I can also make this bike stop?) 

Milea: Itu sih tinggal direm aja, iya kan? (You just need to hit the brake, am I right?) 

Dilan: Kok kamu tahu? (How do you know?) 

Milea: Bayi juga tahu, Dilan. (Even a baby knows, Dilan.) 

Dilan: Bayi ajaib bisa naik motor. (He's a magical baby then if he can ride a bike.)

I want to explain a little bit about this conversation. Ujan is short for hujan, means rain. Berhenti actually you hear in the scene being pronounce as [berenti], you don't pronounce the letter h there. This is in daily conversation, because if it is in a formal context then you need to pronounce the letter h, [berhenti].

We in daily conversation usually drop a letter or slightly change the way pronounce the word like in this scene.

Next, still from the same movie, Dillan 1990, let's watch the scene down below where [denger] is spoken.

The conversation in that scene with English translation is as follows.

Dilan: Kamu tahu ngga? (You know what?) 

Nandan: Apa? (What?) 

Dilan: Aku suka Lia. Tapi malu euy mau bilang. (I like Lia. But I don't have the courage to say it.) 

Nandan: Itu barusan bilang. (You have just said it.) 

Dilan: Bilang ke kamu, bukan ke Milea. (I've just said it to you, not to Milea.) 

Nandan: Tapi dia bisa denger, kan? (But she can hear you, right?) 

Dilan: Insya Allah. Lan. (I hope so. Lan.)

So, you can hear some Indonesian people will say [dengar] and some will say [denger].


Dengerin
Next, let's watch a scene, still from the same movie, Mimpi Metropolitan where the word [dengerin] is being spoken. Let's watch below.

The conversation in this scene with English translation is as follows.

Prima: Lagian juga, masih mending gua lah daripada elu penjual DVD bajakan. (After all, I'm still better than you are, the seller of pirated DVDs.) 

Alan: Kau tak suka dengan profesiku? Ha? (You don't like my profession, ha?) 

Bambang: Udah mas, udah. Jangan berantem! Jelek. (Come on, guys. Calm down. Don't fight! It's not good.) 

Prima: Tuh. Dengerin kata Bambang! (See. Listen to what Bambang had to say!) 

Bambang: Maksud saya, jangan sekarang berantemnya. Nanti aja, selesai mas Alan cerita. (I mean, not now if you want to fight. Later, after Alan finishes his story.)

Next, let's watch another scene where [dengerin] is spoken. We will again see [dengerin] is spoken in the scene below.

The conversation in this scene with English translation is as follows

Mamih: Cuman, loe udah bae belom? Masih bersin-bersin, ngga? (Have you got any better? Are you still sneezing?) 

Prima: Ooh. Udah mi, udah. Aman! (Ooh. I'm well now. Don't worry about it.) 

Mamih: Ya udeh. Loe sono, tuh. Dengerin sutradaranya, noh! Ya? Ama besok loe dateng lagi. Soalnya besok tuh ada adegan tawuran, Mami masih kurang 20 lagi ekstrasnya. Loe dateng ye? (Okay then. You go there. Listen to the director! Okay? One more, tomorrow I need you to come again. There will be a fighting scene tomorrow, and I still need 20 more people for this scene. You need to come tomorrow!)

Next, we're going to see the other forms of [dengar].

Next, let's watch another scene from a movie titled Radio Galau. Let's watch below.

The conversation in this scene with English translation is as follows.

Rara: Bara sayang. Tiap malam Mingguan itu, loe selalu sendirian dalam kamar. Dengerin lagu mellow, tulis cerita-cerita cengeng. Semuanya itu ngebuktiin kalau loe itu galau tingkat nasional. (My dear Bara. Every Saturday night, you always stay by yourself in your room. Listening to mellow songs, writing melodrama stories. All of that is proof that you're deeply in a state of dilemma.)

Next, we go to [dengarkan].

Dengarkan
Let's watch this scene below where [dengarkan] is spoken.

The conversation in this scene with English translation is as follows.

Alan: Kau sekarang dengarkan aku baik-baik, ya! Aku ini minta maaf sama kau. (You listen to me carefully, right now! I'm was making an apology to you.) 

Bambang: Udah mas Alan, mas Prima, ngga usah berantem. Ngga papa mas Alan. Saya kan juga mo nyari pengalaman. Saya juga mo ngerasain, gimana rasanya disorot langsung pake kamera. (Come on Alan, Prima, don't fight. It's okay, Alan. I want to have an experience on this. I want to know how it feels to be shot by a camera.) 

Alan: Mau? (Do you want it?) 

Bambang: Mau, mas. (Yes, I do.) 

Alan: Nih! Kusorot kau. (Here! Let me shoot you.)
