Berisik Meaning In Indonesian

Halo semuanya. Apa kabar kalian semua? This time, I'm gonna talk about the meaning of [berisik] in the Indonesian language. As always, we're gonna watch scenes from Indonesian movies where this word [berisik] is spoken.

If you have any questions regarding the Indonesian language, you can ask me directly, or you can join my group. You can see it on my About Me page.

So, without further ado, let's dive in!      

Berisik In the Indonesian Language

[Berisik] can have different meanings in different contexts. The first meaning of berisik is, in a literal sense, that is [noisy]. So, for example, you're in a noisy environment, and then you say to your friend this sentence,

A: Di sini berisik banget ya? (This place is so noisy, isn't it?)

B: Banget! (You tell me.)

Let's hear the audio version of the example sentences above.

The second meaning of berisik is like when you have a friend that is talking too much and you kind of annoyed by her because she talks too much, and then you say,

Loe itu berisik! Tahu ngga sih, loe? (You're talking too much! You know that?)

If you say this or hear someone say this to you, it means that he or she is asking you to shut up and stop talking. So, [berisik] often is used in conversational Indonesian to stop people from talking because what they just said offended you.

Let's hear the audio version of the example sentence above.

Now, let's hear how to pronounce the word [berisik].

[Tempe mendoan] is an Indonesian dish that looks like the picture down below.

[Tu] is short for [itu]. It means [that]. You can see it is used in the sentence,

Bos loe tu aneh ya? = Bos loe itu aneh ya?

Mau loe tu apa sih? = Mau loe itu apa sih?

In daily conversation, Indonesian people usually tend to drop certain letters. This is one of the examples of it.

[Tuh] has the same meaning as [itu].

[Udah] is short for [sudah]. This usually collocates with the word [ah]. In this case, [udah ah]. This phrase is usually used to end a conversation.

[Tinggalin] or [ninggalin] is informal for [meninggalkan]. It means [to leave]. You will hear the use of suffix [in] a lot in daily conversation in Indonesia. Maybe we'll talk about it later.

The third clip is taken from a TV Serial called Tetangga Masa Gitu. Let's watch the clip down below.

Conversation from the scene with English translations is as follows.

Angel: Ngelukis lagi! Ngga ada kegiatan lain? (All you do is painting! Don't you have anything else to do?)

Adi: Ini namanya seni. Kalo ngga ngerti, diem aja deh. (This is called art. If you can't understand this, please just be quiet.)

Angel: Trus.. itu? Namanya seni? Ah! Anak SD juga bisa kali. (That thing? That is what you called art? I guess any elementary school kid can draw that.)

Adu: Berisik! (OMG, you're so annoying!)

This is a conversation between husband and wife, and when Angel said something that offends her husband, Adi said [berisik] to her.

Vocabulary from the scene

[Ngelukis] is the colloquial form of [melukis] = to draw. You will hear [ngelukis] a lot in conversational Indonesian. We usually say [ngelukis] in conversational Indonesian rather than [melukis].

[Lagi] = again, but in this context [lagi] means [always].

[Ngga ada] = nothing.

Ngga ada kegiatan lain? <-- is usually said when all you do is the same thing over and over again.

[Itu] = that.

[Ngerti] is the colloquial form of [mengerti]. In conversational Indonesian, we often drop syllables, like in this example, [me] is dropped, and then it becomes [ngerti].

[Anak SD] = elementary school kids. SD stands for Sekolah Dasar = elementary school.

[Berisik] in literal meaning means [noisy]. Berisik is often used to stop people from talking too much or stop them from talking because we don't like what they are saying.

Example sentences of [berisik] when used in the literal meaning:

1. Di sini berisik banget ya? (Isn't it really noisy in here?)
2. Tetangga sebelah berisik banget ya? (The neighbor next door is very noisy, huh?)

I think that's all for now. If I find another scene from movies or videos, Insha Allah, I will update it again. If you have any questions regarding this topic, just leave them in the comment section, and I'll be happy to answer your questions.

Thanks for reading this article, and I'll talk to you soon. Bye now.
