Signification
Observing the scenery or landscape
Contexte culturel
The phrase is often linked to 'healing'. For Jakartans, 'lihat pemandangan' is a necessary escape from pollution and traffic. There is a 'legendary' drawing of two mountains and a sun that every child draws when asked to draw 'pemandangan'. This is the most famous location for 'lihat pemandangan' near the capital, famous for tea gardens. Using English terms like 'view' or 'scenery' is common, but 'lihat pemandangan' remains the authentic way to express the feeling.
Drop the 'me-'
To sound like a local, always say 'lihat' instead of 'melihat' in casual settings.
Watch the 'ng'
Make sure to pronounce the 'ng' at the end of 'pemandangan' clearly, or it might sound like a different word.
