Bedeutung
Stating that you share the same opinion
Kultureller Hintergrund
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.
