How to Pronounce Labil

Let's hear down below how to pronounce labil.

Next, let's see a scene from a movie where this word is spoken.

Labil In A Movie Scene

Let's watch the scene from an Indonesian movie, DOA: Cari Jodoh, down below.

The conversation in that scene with English translation is as follows.

Woman: Kamu ganteng, mas. Tapi aku belum mencintaimu. Ngga tahu nanti sore. (You are handsome. But I haven't loved you yet. I don't know, maybe late afternoon.) 

Man: Lho? Ini kan udah sore. (What? It's already late afternoon now.) 

Woman: Kalo gitu, ngga tahu deh ntar malem. (Maybe tonight then.) 

Man: Lho kok kamu labil? Kemarin kamu bilang udah cinta sama aku? (Why do you tend to change easily like this? Yesterday, you said to me that you'd loved me already.)

The woman in that scene says something opposite to what she said yesterday. Yesterday, she'd told him that she loved him, but now she says that she hasn't loved him yet. That's why the man said to her this word [labil] because she tends to change easily.

So, labil in this context means tend to change easily.
