The standard way to express gratitude
Contexto cultural
In Javanese culture, politeness is highly nuanced. 'Terima kasih' is used, but often accompanied by a slight bow or lowering of the head. Balinese culture is very warm. 'Terima kasih' is frequently used with a smile, reflecting the island's hospitality. In professional settings in cities like Medan, 'Terima kasih' is the standard, efficient way to close a transaction. In the fast-paced capital, 'Makasih' is heard more often in daily, casual interactions.
