The study entitled �Particles in Indonesian Informal Variety� aims at describing the concept, identification and use of particles in informal Indonesian, explain the function, and the meaning of particles in Indonesian. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. The data were taken from everyday findings as the primary data source and movie, novel, reality show or talk show program using informal Indonesian as the secondary data sources. This study used Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach focusing on the environment of the particles, function, and the meaning of particles. Besides, this study was based on semantic and pragmatic theory as the study of meaning. The result of the study shows that Indonesian at least has 10 particles which is used in informal conversation. They are ah, deh, dong, kan, kek, kok, lah, lho, sih, and ya. Those particles can occupy the medial or final position. However, only ah, kan, kok, lho, and ya can be in the initial position. In the medial position, particles can only be placed after or before phrase(s) and can not be inserted in phrase(s). The function of particles is influenced by its position in sentence, the type of sentence, and the intonation. Some particles play the same function in Indonesian language. Nevertheless, they have semantic characteristic to differentiate them. This characteristics is a means of figuring out the meaning of particles in Indonesian language. The meaning of particles depends on its context, including the context of use in sentence, intonation, and the context of situation of the utterance. Therefore, particles has a wide range of meaning.
