Indonesian Language Lesson

Posted by Amanda at 10:21 PM

The word for today is "Bingung". This is a word that I hear very often over here and it means "confused".

Sometimes, I hear people say "Saya bingung" and it means "I am confused".

I also hear people say "Bingung saya" and I think it also means "I am confused".

Today, I was bingung-ed by this shirt. By the way, there is no past tense to words in Indonesian so the -ed was just me using the English past tense on the Indonesian word. (Not part of the lesson :P)

   A true classic - especially the "to nisht" part. This one definitely goes into my linguistic oddities collection!

   I've not used that word in such a LONG time. I'm going to start using it now and mixed that in with my Mandarin vocab. Hahaha.
