Describing a very low temperature.
문화적 배경
The concept of 'Masuk Angin' (Entering Wind) is a local illness believed to be caused by cold air or drafts. People will say 'Dingin sekali' as a warning to avoid getting sick. Malls and offices in Jakarta are often kept at extremely low temperatures (16-18°C) as a sign of prestige and modern infrastructure. These highland areas are the 'refrigerator' of Java. Visiting them to experience 'dingin sekali' is a popular weekend activity for city dwellers. Indonesians love 'Es' (Ice). A drink that is 'dingin sekali' is considered the best accompaniment to spicy food.
The 'Banget' Rule
If you want to sound like a local in Jakarta, swap 'sekali' for 'banget'. It's the most common way to intensify adjectives in daily life.
Don't say 'Saya dingin'
If you are shivering, say 'Saya kedinginan.' Saying 'Saya dingin' makes you sound like a cold-hearted villain in a movie!
