Hello,

Could anyone help me translate this: "numpank lewadh" in english?

Thanks in advance...

Michal

the correct one is "numpang lewat" hehehehe ...
it is mean like an advertisement ...

[Littlest Hobo]

I think Jakartateam is just playing with words...

Radit, why did you say the meaning is like an advertisement?? I myself don't get it. Isn't it like "let me pass"? sorry unless it is ABG words?

Hmmm....I remember when I was kid when we walked by any cemetery, we had to say that...numpang lewat...like say it about ten times!

[jakartateam]

mmmh... ok...

That's a bit weird... thanks you very much!!

[radit_bezit]

But somehow, it is being used to interupt ppls chat to said something really off the topic ....

"Numpang lewat neh, tapi mobil di depan itu punya siapa?" or "Numpang lewat, tapi saya punya product baru yang dinamakan Jus jeruk."

and more further for advertisement, we will said it that he just "numpang lewat" ...

And sure the real mean (dictionary) of "Numpang Lewat" is "let me pass" ...
dont you go Sleep Littlest Hobo? It is early morning

[jakartateam]

I think it's ABG talking...

somebody sent this to me on my facebook wall:

"Hallllo...
numpank lewadh ya,...
heuheu...
^_~"

The person is 19...

[Littlest Hobo]

Oh I see...but in that case, like ...attention... like trying to attract attention to people...

I've never heard it though...

What about you...are you opening your fast?

I am in different zone time at the moment...dreaming about bakso!!

[Littlest Hobo]

I think it's ABG talking...

somebody sent this to me on my facebook wall:

"Hallllo...
numpank lewadh ya,...
heuheu...
^_~"

The person is 19...

Wow...it is truly ABG words... I thought it's your kind of spelling...in that case definitely saying...like excuse me... hello....sorry to interrupt but...

[jakartateam]

If i'm fasting? no, i'm not muslim... im just insomniac...

[radit_bezit]

I think it's ABG talking...

somebody sent this to me on my facebook wall:

"Hallllo...

heuheu...
^_~"

The person is 19...

o i c .. yes he/she want to use your wall to make he/she became more popular - to advertise hisself or herself ... :D

[Littlest Hobo]

If i'm fasting? no, i'm not muslim... im just insomniac...

Sorry I was talking to Radit there who asked me why I wasn't sleeping yet...as she is a muslim, just asking her a question...

you Michal, an insomniac...you know what best to cure that... a glass of very cold milk and walk on a very cold stone floor.... :)

[radit_bezit]

yes it is time to Sahur "Opening fasting"
but i am insomniac actually ... hehehehehe

[Littlest Hobo]

yes it is time to Sahur "Opening fasting"
but i am insomniac actually ... hehehehehe

Another one... so you haven't been sleeping at all and you are fasting??

you must be a very strong girl...and you are working later on too?

[jakartateam]

you know what would be a good idea concerning indonesian slang... it would be to create a glossary with the sms slang like aq=aku, skg = sekarang... it's very hard for bule to read some sms because of the abbreviation you use...

[radit_bezit]

not a strong girl actually ...
my head is being interupted for something that bothering me so much ... hehehe ... and it has connected with my work ... yes i am working in the morning also ...
just in the busy phase of my work life ... i think you all have been trough it ..

[radit_bezit]

you know what would be a good idea concerning indonesian slang... it would be to create a glossary with the sms slang like aq=aku, skg = sekarang... it's very hard for bule to read some sms because of the abbreviation you use...

ow ... you are being socialized with indonesian too ... hehehehe ... just asking in the forum like this ... i believe that many ppl want to help
about abbreviation you mention about, many indonesian not familiar with it also like this sentence

g mau pg k mall dl. tp ntr nyusul lo ke st. lo mo ttp apa? kbtln g bw mbl.

i can not make hard sentences ... hehehe ... but i ever get one ... and it is really confusing .. hehehehe

[Littlest Hobo]

that's a very good idea...so we learn the ABG words eh...

Radit...can you start with a few more please... I need to top up my ABG words as well..

[Littlest Hobo]

he he....Michal... do you get that?

[jakartateam]

g mau pg k mall dl. tp ntr nyusul lo ke st. lo mo ttp apa? kbtln g bw mbl.

Im trying... gwe mau pergi ke mall dulu
sebentar nyusul lho ke situ
lho mau tetapi apa?
kebetulan gwe bawa mobil

Not bad hehe...

[radit_bezit]

horreyyy ... bravo ..
but it is not "tetapi" but "titip"
and not "lho" but it is still "lo" meaning "you"

[Littlest Hobo]

Wowwww...you are brill man! salute...

Radit....ttp? can't be tetapi...doesn;t make sense.

[radit_bezit]

astaga = o my god
naga = dragon
astaganaga = o my god dragon = omgd ...

hehehehee ... ever heard it in your converstation?

[Littlest Hobo]

Aha....you just answer my question

[Littlest Hobo]

astaga = o my god
naga = dragon
astaganaga = o my god dragon = omgd ...

hehehehee ... ever heard it in your converstation?


hehehehe....indeed....I like that...I am learning as well. To be honest, I think I've seen it but I thought it was just a translation oh my god...

didn't realise got the naga bit!! ur gud ticha!

[jakartateam]

that's very interesting... i'm really interested in learning all that because i think it's the most difficult when speaking with indonesian people... i've been two years in Jakarta but i'm still not able to fully understand a conversation very well because some words block my understanding..

[radit_bezit]

i like this actually ... many indonesian not notice about it ... so if you are talking with indonesian and said "omgd", he/she will pass it or ask you what is the meaning? kind a cool, huh?

[Littlest Hobo]

Yes, please drop anymore new words... unfortunately I do not speak Indonesian often enough especially new words...so lodsowords I dunno

[radit_bezit]

hmmm ... what else ya? yeah i will try to list words that comes up lately ....

"katro" = kampungan - it is a javanese word but become famous because of one funny show "Empat Mata" in Trans TV, so you may see indonesian moking to another indonesian with this word.

"secara" = this word have a little bit different meaning from the real one .... it can be become "because of" like

a : "lo kenapa ga pake baju?"
b : "ya iyalah, secara gw baru mandi."

thats all for this time ... needs to cook ...

[Littlest Hobo]

Interesting. I knew about the first one, but never heard about "secara" being used the way you did. Anyway (;)), I am not often in Jawa so I don't keep up to date with prokem or local variations.
I am far less comfortable in Bahasa Indonesia than in my manadonese dialek.:cool:

[kingwilly]

problem is it changes all the time. new phrases and abbreviations come in as old ones become, so yesterday.

Also with many of the sms abbreviations you can make it up as you want, or some friends will have some agreed ways of typing something and others will have another........

[bodgy]

I'm off to school to learn Indonesian.. With school and the guys at work, hopefully I work it out! I hate not being able to communicate with the locals!

BI is somewhat easy to learn. You will catch up quickly with it if on top of that you don't stay stuck in a "bule" circle of friends. Socialise with everyone from the tukang bakso to the boss of your bank. You will learn a lot. Though... I may have socialised a bit too much with tukang bakso which may explained my rather unusual behaviour/style for a so called bule.:rolleyes:

yes it is, ow king ... you know it very well ... and the "Bahasa Gaul" changing and in every community has a different name ... so don't worry to make mistakes ... cz a lot of indonesian doing it also when coming to new environment ...

Few things become nationalized, and it is became famous because television program such as Empat Mata, Extravaganza, Lenong Betawi, Akhirnya datang Juga, and so on.

and if you dont know about bahasa gaul, an indonesian formal use very acceptable in every conversation. and you will become get more respect in using it. Using a bahasa gaul sometimes making a missunderstanding between communicator especially when talking with older ppl, hehehe ... so dont use it to nenek-nenek and kakek2 yah ...

[atlantis]

"Hallllo...

^_~"



.in that case definitely saying...like excuse me... hello....sorry to interrupt but...


o i c .. yes he/she want to use your wall to make he/she became more popular - to advertise hisself or herself ... :D

The closest one was LH... I bet she was willing to say "hello... Just passing by... don't bother"... I just have a problem for the translation of "heuheu":rolleyes:

[atlantis]

astaga = o my god
naga = dragon
astaganaga = o my god dragon = omgd ...

hehehehee ... ever heard it in your converstation?
Adu... Don't tell me that ! I had my share of "astaganaga" and it took me two years to get rid of thi word. Anyway (;)) I don't say it anymore but I traded with another bad habit in Manadonese!

[switsof]

Have to agree with this.
Am actually an Indonesian but have been away for 10 years by now so I don't even understand the current slang and even forget some words already!

But... I speak Japanese as my 3rd language and learnt German and French too a bit before, and I can definitely say comparing all of these languages with Indonesian, Bahasa Indonesia is really easy, trust me!

There are no changes for say plural form unlike the European languages, no masculin nor feminin adjectives, nouns etc. unlike in French or neutral one too for German; no past tense per se; and the beauty of it is that what is written is what you say pretty much a bit like German.

What I found from my stay in Japan let's say, where the language has different levels of being extra polite to address customers let's say, plain formal e.g. to talk to lecturers in univ., plain form to friends and then slang, as a non-local as long as you know the plain form to communicate, that's good enough.

I actually don't mind having a language exchange between Indonesian and French and/or German. Cause I have to be off to Europe again to work at the beginning of next month most likely and in the country I'm staying the 2 languages are used a lot and my French and German still suck :(

French language really sucks when it comes to learn it ! I am happy that I born with it so that I do not have to learn it now!:cool:

Yes I am happy also now he has 2 passport with diferrent nationality.

Btw, I dont understand Manadonese..... I speak only english, german, bahasa Indonesia and javanese hehehe...

[radit_bezit]

French is easy...just practise saying "hee ho hee ho" through your nose...

hehehehe ... i can not imagine it really ... i ever learn this languages (but since i have to learn door is female and car is female also ... and things suddenly have the gender so i think i will gonna pass until in my life there would be a french guy that i want to approach ... hehehehe) ...

do you have any u tube for the lesson?:p

[atlantis]

Yes I am happy also now he has 2 passport with diferrent nationality.

Btw, I dont understand Manadonese..... I speak only english, german, bahasa Indonesia and javanese hehehe...

Manadonese is not that far from the real bahasa. If you do concentrate you will be able to translate what I wrote. Nothing difficult.

About passport, this is a good thing that you did it. My son is very proud of his two passport (specially sinc he knows that is father and mother only have one) and it helps him to better understand that he is french AND indonesian.

[JohnJohn]

yes, Atlantis, I agree with that. :) Manadonese usually blends some words, like dorang from "dia orang", isn't it?

:) I have some manado friends..:) and I miss one of them, who is in Italy now. :(

[atlantis]

yes, Atlantis, I agree with that. :) Manadonese usually blends some words, like dorang from "dia orang", isn't it?

You are right, not only we blend the words, but also we shorten them (sudah jadi so, punya jadi pe...dll) and we love to add some foreign words mainly from belanda (such as "maar" or "voor"). It wouldn't be complete without a bit of portuguese and chinese words and a very keen tendancy to put "a" instead of "e" almost everywhere (eg. Samua, bardoa, mangarti and of course... Manado).
It makes a colorful language and to be honest, I feel much much more confortable with manadonese language than with the real good bahasa indonesia. Though, I understand it (I have no other choice if I want to read kompas or any text of law because there is not yet a manadonese version of them), I barely use it. Speaking manadonese in Manado, for a foreigner, is definitively a must. It ensures you the support of the local population and you manage to get anything done and any door opened in less than the time it takes you to ask for it.
Manado... Kita cinta pa ngana...:cool:

[JohnJohn]

It seems you are an expert in Manadone now!! :)

[sglange]

Numpang lewat = excuse me, should be compatible.

[Ishtar^Summer]

I love it.. but the 'ya iyalah, masak ya iya dong..thats from the line in the song 'aku bukan super-star' by project pop.. but the Jamilah song is cute too, I think its done by Ece Pede Band.:rolleyes:
