معنی

The act of opening a window

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Masuk Angin' belief means windows are rarely left open at night or during rain, even if it's hot. Traditional houses use 'ventilasi' (small holes above windows) so that even if you don't 'buka jendela', air still flows. In a village (kampung), opening your front window is a sign that you are 'open' for neighbors to stop by and chat. The phrase 'Jendela Dunia' is the most common slogan for literacy campaigns in Indonesia.

💡

Drop the prefix

In 90% of spoken situations, just say 'buka', not 'membuka'.

⚠️

Mind the 'Masuk Angin'

Don't be surprised if Indonesians close windows as soon as a few drops of rain fall.
