🌍

文化的背景

Indonesians value 'Rukun' (harmony). Saying 'Itu benar' is often a way to avoid conflict, even if there is slight disagreement. In Javanese-influenced Indonesian, 'benar' is associated with 'bener' (truth/justice). It carries a weight of moral correctness. In Jakarta, 'Itu betul' or 'Bener banget' is much more common than the formal 'Itu benar' in daily life. In meetings, 'Itu benar' is used to validate data. It is important to be clear and direct when confirming figures.

⚠️

Avoid 'Adalah'
