Hi guys,

I would just like to start a thread on indonesian slang words. I would like to know the usual kinds of words that you guys back home use when talking to mates/friends etc.

As a result of going to www.kafegaul.com to attempt to learn more everyday type indonesian i have been exposed to some serious slang, its comming to me in bucket fulls and i have been able to translate a few but others i havnt and its really getting to me 2 .

So i'll start with 1:

gebet = what does this mean ? really. I have tried to look it up on the internet and i have not been able to get a definitive answer to what it means.

Cemburu = ' dont get annoyed ' ? benar ngk ?

Maybe just as you guys list pictures of hot indonesian women and men so that people who have never been to indonesia can see the great abundance of beautiful people we have, i think this would be a good place to list the great abundance of indonesian slang words & acronyms, so people like me can understand them when we travel to indonesia.

What do you think ?

bokap = father

nyokap = mother

bonyok (bokap-nyokap) = parents

bejat = pervert

kudu = must

imut = cute

ngibul = lying

tajir = rich

bokep = porno

burung = p***s

okie dokie.. i'll start:

cemburu = jealous

gebetan = girl/boyfriend

jomblo = single

jojoba (jomblo-jomblo bahagia) = happy singles

bete = bad temper

ngentot = f***

cowok = boy

cewek = girl

any specific slang u wanna know?

Na none really, you have sort of answered the 2 that i wanted to know so thanx. But really anything that sounds funny or is typically used when talking between mates.

gawean = job

objekan = part time work

dokat = money

bokin = girlfriend

kere = poor

bule kere = poor foreigner 2 , j/k

Mate ... is this indonesian ? or some other spoken language from some small town ... people actually use these ?
Kere sama bule kere gue udah tau



These are new as well, though i thought burung is bird 2

gebet = chasing on a person you like.
gebetan = the person you’re chasing on.

Cemburu = envy, jealous.

If we don’t care for somebody/something, we can say: “So what gitu loooooh”

You also can use this slank proverb:
"Naik pesawat ke Gorontalo
So what gitu looo…."

If we’re sorry for one’s unlucky but also laugh at him, we can say: “Kasiaaan dech loe!”

and also add this to your dictionary:

-ya oloh, tollong!
-lambreta
-plis deh!

"Kasiaaan dech loe!": haha yeh i know this one, it has to be accompnied with a certain tone in the voice right. Ive copped this one before

"ya oloh, tollong" : Yeh heard this to, went bushwalking with a girl and she fell into a big mud patch ... obviously this was followed by huge laughter from me and then followed by a "ko ketawa sih .. ya oloh, tollong dooong" 2

"lambreta": Never heard this one, this is new

"plis deh": This is obvious



Right ! now i understand thanks , 'Cemburu sama gebet' kata2 slang kan, gue cari di indo to english kamus tapi di search nya word not found terus.

"ya olloh tolong" can be an expression for "gimme a break!"

Lambreta = lama

Jayus = garing = not funny joke.

Right ... now that you mention it i know what you mean as in 'ya Allah ... tollong...' i understand. 2 Like (please god gimi a me a break ..)

I guess what i heard when my friend said it was : ya eloooo (as in me) (said with a funny looking frown on the face) , tollong (help)

satu lagi Yang gue suka denger tapi ngak pernah ngerti itu: "Amang gue ibu monyang lo". What in gods name is a monyang

2 yang benar adalah: "emang gue nenek moyang loe?" ("do you think I'm your grandma?")

mursidah : murah

maharani : mahal

penting nggak seeh ! , ( watch 30 hari meancari cinta ...u'll know it )

yuk yaa yuuk : ayoooo

u can just buy the Kamus Gaul to see the slank more, but most of the words only used by gay society, but its fun to know their slank, at least we know what they r talking about..
like when u go to Salon, the Bencong will say : ada lekong brondong cuco' bo', mo cucong trus krembong, biar eke beresin deh : ada cowok abg cakep mo cuci trus krembat, biar gue yg tanganin deh......

Btw, cemburu isnt slank.....its just regular word

yes, cemburu should be in dictionary, it's a regular word for 'jealous'. The slang for cemburu is 'cembokur'.

You serious, dia punya slangnya sendiri itu bencong 2 banyakk banget ni slangnya

Kalo 'jayuz' itu apa ? jail ? annoying ? ... gitu ?

jayuz = not so funny joke.

Try these ones too:

Muke loe jauh!

Palelo bau menyan!

Ke laut aja!

I heard mPok Ati said 'Ya Allah Tolong!!' so many times, becoming her trademark...
These r simple acronyms n slang words:
EGP = Emang Gue Pikirin ---> I don't care
PDKT = PenDeKaTan -----> ngegebet, 'approach someone u lie'
Jaman jebot -----> kuno, Very old
Titi DJ = haTI-haTI Di Jalan ------> Careful on ur way
Dedi Dores = DEngan DIiringi DOa REStu ------> (I can't explain it-Help me!)

A jayuz person is s.o. who tried to be funny, but failed.....
"Keciaaan deh loe" is completed with the tone and your finger move.

this is intresting word 2 , damn i am fasting now

I just realized how creative Indonesians are with all these new words created and many more will come.

yeah.bahasa indonesia is full of bahasa gaul.my sis knows quite a lot while i don't!!!

Yeh i know, thats why i started this thread, i knew there would be hell of alot of slang out there that people use that would be useful/funny to know.


2 2 2 OMG So thats why it means 2 Someone once said this to me when i was going to fly back to australia. I had no idea what the hell it meant and just said ... (with a confused looked on my face)

Ahhh iyah deh, makasih ya, sampai gue balik nanti 2

even though that bahasa gaul is only used by bencong before, but now lots of ppl speak this too.

Ngentot is not bahasa gaul. its javanese....


Gretong : gratis

Banci for "like so much / freak" example,
like to go to mall so much : banci mal
like to perform so much : banci tampil
computer freak : banci komputer

^ i thought banci = sissy?

I though banci (pronounced like bunchi) was a guy who dresses up as a women or a guy who acts like a women .... actually yeh, a sissy.

I thought so too.

Don't forget BALON --> BANci saLON!
Some of the slangs that many considers banci r
LAMBRETA
MAHARANI
n
GRETONG

@furnasizuka, what is the meaning of "jutek"?

judes or sassy.

So Roger Danuarta's Cewekku Jutek should be a copy of Korean movie My Sassy Girl? 2

jutek is like in a bad mood n makes s.o lil bit cranky

Could be. But the story is totally different. It's Agnes that tried too hard to be a sassy girl Ngga pantess!!! 2

Alot of these words are new to me, but what about for the guys that live in indo here, anyone also learn anything new ? or you already knew most of them ?

I don't know, I use it very often that I can't remember which r new n the ones I know....

this is just a new meaning of Banci.
there are many words that r redefined in Gaul Slang

Pembantaian : Pembantu
Mawar : Mau
Teti Kadi : Tete'
Tinta : Tidak
Ngengkes : Ngangkang

just like banci that is being redefined, word "mampus" is now used to refer to "sangat" beside " Abis" and "Banget"
so for "sangat kaya", we can say Tajir mampus or Tajir Abis or Tajir Banget....
lately banget is pronounced Bang-Get ( the idea comes from the way bule pronounce it ). especially in slang idiom "Gue Bang-get ( its soo me )

Thank God for standard bahasa Indonesia and bahasa Malaysia. Otherwise, I'd really need to have subtitles to understand Indonesian movies nowadays. Some of your slang words are pretty difficult to pick up! So, "Gue Banget" means "It's so me", eh?! I've always thought it meant I Like, as in "MTV, Gue Banget!" Doh!
