Dear Jo,

My training is in BM = Bahasa Malaysia, although many of my students here in
Singapore are from Nusantara.

We use "minda" for mind, but I think Indonesian tends to be more natural in
terms
of personal processes, such as thinking or mind = pikiran, which is fikiran
in BM.
I am Peranakan, so we use pikiran, too.

With metta,
