意味
The act of making a payment
文化的背景
Always use the right hand to give or receive money. Using the left hand is considered impolite. In Javanese culture, talking directly about money can sometimes be seen as 'kasar' (crude). People often use euphemisms or speak softly when 'bayar uang'. During festivals like Lunar New Year, 'bayar uang' is replaced by giving 'Angpao' (red envelopes). It's not a payment, but a gift of luck. The 'QRIS' system is everywhere. Even small street vendors often have a QR code for you to 'bayar' digitally.
