Saya tidak mau membuat Ibu repot.

Saya is the more neutral and polite word for I in Indonesian. It is the safer choice in formal situations, with strangers, with older people, or when speaking respectfully.

Aku is more casual and is usually used with friends, family, or in informal conversation.

Because this sentence includes Ibu, which is a respectful form of address, saya fits the tone much better.

Tidak mau literally means do not want to or am unwilling to.

In this sentence, it means the speaker does not want to do something:
Saya tidak mau membuat Ibu repot = I don’t want to make you / ma’am / mother troubled or inconvenienced.

Depending on context, tidak mau can sometimes sound stronger than simple lack of desire, almost like refuse to, but here it usually just means I don’t want to.

Indonesian usually uses:

• tidak to negate verbs and adjectives
• bukan to negate nouns or noun phrases

Here, mau is functioning like a verb, so tidak is correct:

• Saya tidak mau = I do not want
• Saya bukan mau is not natural here

A simple rule:

• tidak
  • action/state
• bukan
  • identity/category

Membuat literally means to make.

In this sentence, it means to cause someone to be in a certain state:

• membuat Ibu repot = make Ibu troubled / inconvenienced / bothered

So it is not about physically making an object. It is a causative use:
make + someone + adjective/state

Similar examples:

• membuat saya senang = make me happy
• membuat dia marah = make him/her angry

In Indonesian, membuat + object + adjective/state is a very common way to express make someone become ... or cause someone to be ...

So:

• membuat Ibu repot literally looks like make Ibu busy/troubled
• natural English meaning: make Ibu become inconvenienced / cause trouble for Ibu

Indonesian often does not need an extra word corresponding to English become in this pattern.

Repot is a very useful Indonesian word, but it does not match just one English word perfectly.

It can mean things like:

• busy
• troubled
• bothered
• inconvenienced
• put to trouble
• burdened with extra effort

In this sentence, repot usually means something like inconvenienced or bothered with extra trouble.

So the idea is: I don’t want to trouble you
or
I don’t want to inconvenience you

Ibu can mean different things depending on context:

• mother
• Mrs.
• ma’am
• a respectful way to address an adult woman, sometimes effectively meaning you

So membuat Ibu repot could mean:

• make Mother troubled
• make you troubled, ma’am

If the meaning has already been given in your learning material, follow that context. But grammatically, both are possible depending on situation.

When Ibu is used as a title or a direct form of address, it is often capitalized, much like Mother, Mrs, or Ma’am in English.

So capitalization can signal respect or that it is being used like a name/title rather than just the common noun mother.

Compare:

• Ibu sedang di rumah. = Mother / Ma’am is at home.
• ibu saya = my mother

In many contexts, capitalization helps show that Ibu is being used honorifically.

The structure is:

• Saya = subject
• tidak mau = do not want to
• membuat = make / cause
• Ibu = object
• repot = troubled / inconvenienced

So the pattern is:

Subject + negation + want + cause/make + person + state

That gives:

Saya tidak mau membuat Ibu repot.

A very literal breakdown is:

I not want make Ibu troubled.

Natural English: I don’t want to trouble you.

Yes, it sounds polite and considerate.

Reasons:

• saya is polite/neutral
• Ibu is respectful
• the whole sentence shows concern for the other person

It is the kind of sentence you might say when someone offers help or when you do not want to inconvenience an older woman, a customer, a teacher, or another respected person.

Yes. A very common alternative is:

Saya tidak mau merepotkan Ibu.

Here, merepotkan means to trouble / inconvenience someone. It is basically a more compact way to express the same idea.

Compare:

• membuat Ibu repot = make Ibu troubled
• merepotkan Ibu = trouble Ibu

Both are correct.
Merepotkan is often the more direct and natural verb for this idea.

Yes. Ingin also means want, so this sentence is correct.

Difference in nuance:

• mau is very common in everyday speech
• ingin can sound a bit more formal or slightly softer

So:

• Saya tidak mau membuat Ibu repot = very natural
• Saya tidak ingin membuat Ibu repot = also natural, a little more formal

Both are good polite sentences.

It can describe anyone. Repot is just a state.

Examples:

• Saya repot hari ini. = I’m busy / tied up today.
• Dia repot sekali. = He/She is very busy / bothered.
• Jangan bikin mereka repot. = Don’t trouble them.

In your sentence, repot describes Ibu, because Ibu is the person being affected by membuat.
