意思
One's inner feelings or conscience
文化背景
In Javanese culture, 'Mata Hati' is linked to 'Kebatinan' (inner spirituality). It's believed that by refining one's inner self, the mata hati becomes sharp enough to predict the future or sense danger. The phrase is central to 'Tasawwuf' (Sufism) in Indonesia. It is used to describe the state of 'Ikhlas' (sincerity), where one does good deeds only for God, seen through the mata hati. Indonesian 'Sinetron' (soap operas) and pop songs frequently use 'mata hati' to describe a love that transcends physical appearance or social status. Indonesians generally avoid direct confrontation. Using 'mata hati' in a conversation can be a gentle way to appeal to someone's emotions or ethics without being aggressive.
Think 'Empathy'
Whenever you want to say you feel empathy for someone, 'mata hati' is a great phrase to use.
Not for Imagination
Don't use it to say 'I see it in my mind.' Use 'bayangan' instead.
