뜻
Stating that one does not comprehend
문화적 배경
Politeness is key. Always use 'Maaf' to soften the blow of not understanding. In Javanese culture, indirectness is preferred. You might hear 'Kurang paham' more often than a direct 'Tidak mengerti'. In a formal meeting, it is better to ask for clarification than to pretend you understand. Younger people often use 'Gak ngerti' or 'Gak paham' in text messages.
