意味
A friend known for a long time
文化的背景
Maintaining 'Silaturahmi' (social bonds) is crucial. Reconnecting with a 'teman lama' is seen as a blessing. In the capital, 'teman lama' often meet in malls or cafes for 'reuni kecil' (mini-reunions). There is a strong emphasis on 'guyub' (togetherness), making 'teman lama' feel like family. The tradition of 'Merantau' (migrating) means 'teman lama' often reunite after years of living in different islands.
The 'Lama' Rule
Always use 'lama' for time. If you say 'teman tua', people will think you are calling your friend a senior citizen!
Word Order
Don't say 'Lama teman'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating literally from English.
