意思
Scheduling a meeting time
文化背景
The concept of 'Jam Karet' (Rubber Time) means that even if you 'buat janji,' people might arrive 15-30 minutes late. It's not usually considered rude, but rather a result of traffic or other social obligations. In Javanese culture, making an appointment with an elder or someone of higher status requires very polite language (Krama Inggil), often avoiding the direct 'buat janji' in favor of 'nyuwun wekdal' (asking for time). In the capital, 'buat janji' is strictly professional. Due to the extreme traffic, appointments are often made weeks in advance and confirmed via WhatsApp the day before. In the tourism sector, 'buat janji' is used exactly like the English 'make an appointment' to cater to international standards, especially in spas and tour agencies.
Use 'Bikin' for Friends
If you want to sound like a local, always use 'bikin janji' or 'janjian' when talking to friends. 'Membuat janji' sounds like you're writing a textbook.
Don't say 'Ambil'
Avoid saying 'ambil janji.' It's a dead giveaway that you're translating from English or French.
