意思
To accept something with patience
文化背景
After every election, the phrase 'lapang dada' is used by the media to urge losing candidates to maintain peace. It is considered a 'national duty' to be lapang dada. The Javanese concept of 'Nrimo' (accepting one's fate) heavily influences the Indonesian use of 'lapang dada.' It's about finding peace in what you cannot change. The concept of 'Ikhlas' (sincerity) is often paired with 'lapang dada.' In religious sermons, people are taught that a 'spacious chest' is a gift from God. Being 'lapang dada' is seen as the opposite of being 'baper' (overly sensitive). In modern Indonesian social media, being 'lapang dada' is the ultimate 'cool' response to 'haters.'

Avoid saying 'Melapang-dadakan.' Stick to 'Berlapang dada' or just 'Lapang dada.'
