Because, one minute later, a guy who looks angry, and obviously misidentified you as an Indonesian (thanks to your dark hair) comes straight to you, shouting several sets of swear words. You have bought a thick, heavy Indonesian - English dictionary from the nearest bookstore, but you found LOTS that you even have never heard before:
"[words spoken]
(
"Heh, tiker gue diembat!"
(Hey, you took my rug!)
"Pegi lo sana! Gue pengen selonjoran juga!"
(Off you go! I want to lay here!)
"Eh, punya telinga gak lo?"
(Do you have ears?)
And the result is, you spend the rest of the day wrestling with the guy, ruining your relax time in the paradise.
NOTE! It's an IMAGINARY SITUATION. :D
What in the world was those words?
They are informal words.
Separate them with swear words. (in italic)
Pedestrian Vs. Car
A : "Woi, nyetir pake mata! Anjing!"
(Oi, drive with eyes! Dog!)
B : "Bacot lo! Lo tuh yang sedeng jalannya! Bego"
(Stop bullshitting! You're walking like crazy! Stupid)
We didn't use them with older people such as our parents and teachers, nor we use them in formal situations. We use them a bit with our friends in informal situations. But stupid, uneducated people is likely to use them EVERYWHERE even with strangers.
Most of us aren't stupid enough to say those and these words under to you. I just want to share something about our language, to show how diverse our culture are. Not every Indonesian are polite. Fortunately, most of us are.
Informal words:
Lo/Elo/Lu:
"You"
Gue/Gw:
"Me/I"
Kagak/nggak/enggak:
"No"
Iye:
"Yes"
Sialan:
"Damn"
Ngerti:
(Short term for mengerti)
"Understand"
Slangs and swears:
Sotoy:
"Bluff"
Bacot:
"Bullshit"
Ngepet:
"Human-pig"
Sempak:
"Underpants"
Ngentot:
"F*ck"
And much more.
How about "words" in your country?
Heheheheheh
