Bedeutung
The time when the sun comes up
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Javanese culture, the sunrise is a time of spiritual cleansing. Many people believe that the first rays of the sun carry 'prana' or life energy. For Balinese Hindus, the direction of the sunrise (Kaja/Kangin) is sacred. Temples are often oriented towards the mountains and the rising sun. Young Indonesians love 'Car Free Day' or morning cycling during the sunrise as a social and healthy lifestyle choice. Fishermen use the sunrise as a signal to return to shore after a night of fishing in the open sea.
Use it for Hope
If a friend is having a hard time, say 'Matahari akan terbit lagi' to encourage them.
Don't say 'Matahari Naik'
While 'naik' means rise, it's not used for the sun. Stick to 'terbit'.
