Saya setuju

I agree

Stating that you share the same opinion

🌍

문화적 배경

Indonesians value 'Mufakat' (consensus). Saying 'Saya setuju' is often a way to maintain group harmony, even if you have minor reservations. In Javanese culture, direct disagreement is often avoided. A 'Saya setuju' might be said politely while the person actually feels 'Kurang setuju' (less than agree). In Indonesian business, 'Saya setuju' is often followed by a long pause or a 'but' (tapi). Listen carefully to what follows the agreement. Indonesian netizens are very active. 'Setuju' is often used as a 'like' or 'upvote' in comment sections to show solidarity.

💡

The 'Tapi' Rule

In Indonesia, if someone says 'Saya setuju, tapi...', the 'tapi' (but) is the most important part. Listen closely!

⚠️

Don't use 'Adalah'

Never say 'Saya adalah setuju.' It's a common mistake for English speakers. Just 'Saya setuju' is perfect.
