معنی
Providing a response to a query.
زمینه فرهنگی
Answering a question with 'tidak tahu' (I don't know) can sometimes be seen as blunt. People often use 'kurang tahu' (I know less/not quite sure) to sound more polite. In Javanese-influenced areas, answering a question from an elder often involves a slight bow or avoiding direct eye contact as a sign of respect. Young people often mix English. They might say 'Answer-nya apa?' instead of 'Jawabannya apa?'. In seminars, it is polite to thank the person for the question before answering.
Drop the prefix
In casual talk, just say 'jawab'. 'Udah jawab belum?' (Have you answered yet?)
Don't say 'ke'
Avoid 'jawab ke pertanyaan'. It's a common English-speaker mistake.
