Abstract

The declining number of arrival of foreign tourists to the island of Bali has led to some intense competition in obtaining customers in restaurants, located in the area of Ubud Gianyar. To anticipate such things, foreign language skill, especially English is very important, especially for waiters in restaurants, who are required to be able to explain the food/menu in English, so the customers will feel satisfied because they understand the food ordered. This study aims to describe the equivalence of Indonesian phrases in English about food on the food lists in several restaurants in Ubud. The data were analyzed using qualitative linguistic theory, which relies on a phenomenological philosophical approach. The results showed that all restaurants used Modificative Noun phrases, and 80% of them also used Appositive noun phrases.  While Coordinative Noun phrases are only used by 10% of restaurants. Furthermore, it is suggested to the restaurant managers to use simpler noun phrases, so that it becomes easier for guests to understand the meaning of Indonesian phrases that are stated in English noun phrases. In addition, it will also make it easier for waiters to explain the food menu available at the restaurant.   Keywords: noun phrase, renu, Restaurant

Abstract

How to communicate properly and correctly is needed by the people of Bali, especially those who live in tourism areas. The increasing arrivals of foreign tourists to the Island of the Gods has made English an important means of communication, which is therefore, badly needed by people in tourist areas, such as the Kintamani. Those who are directly involved in tourism industry activities are expected to provide good service to meet customer satisfaction. This qualitative research, which is based on a phenomenological philosophy approach, aims to determine the understanding of employees and homestay owners in Kintamani on the use of formal English greetings and terms to address customers in their daily tasks. 30 respondents were selected as samples by accidental sampling technique. Meanwhile, data were collected from respondents through interviews and observations, with recording techniques when respondents served guests in eight representative homestays. Furthermore, the data were descriptively analyzed, referring to the basic English grammatical theory. The results of the study show that in general, employees or homestay owners in Kintamani have already understood the formal use of greetings and terms to address the guests in English well. But in daily conversation, they do not use greetings and terms to address guests in formal English which is theoretically appropriate, and prioritize the communicative aspect instead.
