The Cluster Test

If you can't decide whether to drop a letter, say the word out loud. If dropping it makes the word unrecognizable (like 'memroses' for 'proses'), keep it!

The 'Sih' Rule

No, it is often a future marker.
It doesn't have a single meaning. It's a pragmatic particle used to soften a statement, express a slight contradiction, or just act as a filler to make the sentence sound more natural.
It depends on who you're talking to. With friends in Jakarta, it's normal. With elders or in formal settings, it's considered very rude.
This is a common non-standard usage. People keep the 'T' to make the root word 'target' more recognizable, but in formal 'Bahasa Baku', it must be 'menargetkan'.
Words starting with 'F' or 'V' do NOT drop their initial letter. For example, 'foto' becomes 'memfoto' and 'vonis' becomes 'mevonis'.
Linguistically, no. It is a functional register used by a specific social group. However, in formal exams or government work, it is inappropriate.
