Hello, fellas! What’s up? May I ask you a question? Do you live the in the city (kota) or countryside (pedesaan)? Which one is better? :D
Oops, they were 2 questions. So it was supposed to be: “May I ask you two questions?” xD
Based on Mentions, many of you seem to live in the countryside. Good! Because today our lesson is about farming & agriculture vocabulary. :D
