The Beauty of Bahasa

In Bahasa Indonesia, even simple phrases carry deep cultural significance. Take terima kasih, for example. It translates to “thank you,” but its meaning goes beyond gratitude. Terima means “to take or receive,” while kasih means “to give back.” Together, they reflect the beautiful moral of reciprocity: when you receive something, you should also give back—not necessarily to the same person, but to others around you. This embodies the Balinese value of taking care of one another and fostering a sense of community.
