Halo semuanya, apa kabar? Ketemu lagi sama saya, Iman Prabawa. This time, I will talk about the meaning of [bunda] in Indonesian. As always, we will watch scenes from movies where this word [bunda] is spoken to better understand this.
If you are a beginner in the Indonesian language, you can learn step by step with My Lesson Here.
Now, let's dive in!
Bunda In Indonesian
Bunda is short for [ibunda], which means [mother]. This term is used when a child calls her mother. In Indonesia, many words exist for [mother], such as ibu, mamak, bunda, mamah, emak, and mami.
The origin of the word [bunda] in modern Indonesia is from Old Malay and Old Javanese words 'Ibu' (mother) and 'ananda' (polite form of 'you'). It's common in the Old Malay and Old Javanese languages to combine double words into one word.
Thus:
ibu+ananda → ibu+anda → ibunda → bunda

Next, let's watch examples from movies where the word [bunda] is used by Indonesians.
