뜻
A person who does not have a partner
문화적 배경
Saturday night (Malam Minggu) is culturally designated as 'date night'. Being 'jomblo' on this night is a major theme in pop culture and memes. During Eid al-Fitr (Lebaran), family members often ask 'Kapan nikah?' (When are you marrying?). This makes the 'jomblo' status a point of stress for many. The term 'Jomblo Fisabilillah' is used by those who choose to stay single to avoid 'zina' (sinful acts) before marriage. The word originated in Bandung, which is considered the 'Paris of Java' and a trendsetter for Indonesian slang.
The 'B' Factor
Always write it with a 'b' (jomblo) in texts and social media to sound like a native, even if the dictionary says 'jomlo'.
Avoid with Elders
Don't use 'jomblo' when meeting your partner's parents for the first time; it's too casual.
