So, without further ado, let's talk about it.
O'on in the Indonesian Language
[O'on] is short for [blo'on], which means stupid. [O'on] is informal and usually is used to make the word [blo'on] sounds cuter. You can also write this word without the apostrophe, or like this, [oon]. I'm putting an apostrophe there just to make it easier to read and not to be confused with two O that you pronounce long.
Synonyms for [o'on] are [bodoh], [tolol], and [goblok]. If you want to use the formal, you can use [bodoh].
How to Pronounce O'on
Here is how you pronounce the word [o'on].
Next, let's watch scenes from movies where the word [o'on] is spoken.
O'on in Movie Scenes
The first scene that we are about to watch is taken from a movie called Bajaj Bajuri The Movie (2014). Let's watch the scene down below.
Oneng: Eh, bunyi apaan tuh? Mepet bener! Pak! Pak, kalo parkir jangan mepet-mepet. Ntar kalo bapak buka pintu nih. Bajaj laki aye bisa lecet. Pak, jangan lupa ye. Digeser mobilnye. (What’s that sound? This is too close! Sir! Sir, do not park too close like this because when you open your car’s door, my husband’s Bajaj can get scratch. Sir, please don’t forget to move aside your car.)
Man: O'on kali kau! (You stupid bitch!)
Vocabulary From the Scene
[O'on kali] <--- [kali] in this phrase is short for [sekali], which means very. For more about the meaning of [kali], you can read my article here, Kali in the Indonesian Language.
So, I guess this is all for now. If you have any questions regarding this topic, you can just leave the questions in the comment section below, and I'll be happy to answer your questions. If I find another scene where the word [o'on] is spoken, Insha Allah, I will update this article again.
Thank you for reading my article, and I'll talk to you soon. Bye now.
