Penerbangan kami terlambat karena badai.

In Indonesian, possessors usually come after the noun. So penerbangan kami literally looks like flight our, but it means our flight.

This is a very common pattern:

• rumah saya = my house
• mobil mereka = their car
• guru kami = our teacher

So penerbangan kami is the normal way to say our flight.

Both relate to we/us, but they are different:

• kami = we/us excluding the listener
• kita = we/us including the listener

So penerbangan kami means our flight, but it does not necessarily include the person being spoken to. If the listener were part of the same group, penerbangan kita could be possible.

Indonesian often leaves out the verb to be when a noun is followed by an adjective or another noun.

So:

• Penerbangan kami terlambat literally = Our flight late
• natural English = Our flight was late or Our flight was delayed

This is completely normal Indonesian. The tense is usually understood from context rather than shown by a separate word like was.

Terlambat means late. In this sentence, it is most naturally understood as delayed or was late.

For example:

• Saya terlambat. = I am late.
• Kereta itu terlambat. = The train is late.
• Penerbangan kami terlambat. = Our flight was delayed / was late.

It does not specifically mean canceled or postponed:

• dibatalkan = canceled
• ditunda = postponed

Karena means because, and badai means storm. So karena badai literally means because storm.

In natural English, that becomes:

• because of the storm
• due to a storm

Indonesian does not need an extra word like of here.

Indonesian generally does not use articles like a, an, or the.

So badai can mean:

• a storm
• the storm

The context tells you which is intended. English forces you to choose an article, but Indonesian usually does not.

Yes. Terbang means to fly. Penerbangan is a noun built from that root, and it means flight or aviation, depending on context.

So in this sentence:

• terbang = fly
• penerbangan = flight

Here it clearly means an airline flight, not the general idea of aviation.

Yes, a little. The original sentence is the most neutral and standard:

• Penerbangan kami terlambat karena badai.

You can also move the reason to the front for emphasis:

• Karena badai, penerbangan kami terlambat.

That means the same thing: Because of the storm, our flight was delayed.

A rough English-friendly pronunciation is:

• penerbangan ≈ puh-nehr-BAH-ngan
• kami ≈ KAH-mee
• terlambat ≈ tuhr-LAHM-bat
• karena ≈ kuh-REH-nah
• badai ≈ bah-DAI

So the whole sentence is roughly:

puh-nehr-BAH-ngan KAH-mee tuhr-LAHM-bat kuh-REH-nah bah-DAI

One note: Indonesian stress is usually lighter than English stress, so these are only approximate guides.
