Halo semuanya, ketemu lagi sama saya, Iman Prabawa. In this article, I want to talk to you about the meaning of the word [jayus] in bahasa Indonesia. As always, we are also going to be watching examples from movies, YouTube videos, and others where the word [jayus] is used by Indonesians.
If you are a beginner in the Indonesian language, you can learn step by step with My Lesson Here.
So, without further ado, let's talk about it.
Meaning of Jayus In Indonesian
[Jayus] is considered an informal word in bahasa Indonesia, or what we call it with [bahasa gaul]. So, you won't be hearing this word used in formal Indonesian textbooks.
[Jayus] is when you want to make a funny joke, but it does not turn out funny. It's like dad jokes in English. Or when you want to do something funny to make people laugh, but it turns out nobody laughs. Another synonym for [jayus] is [garing].
How to Pronounce Jayus
Here is how you pronounce [jayus] in bahasa Indonesia.
Next, we will look at examples where the word [jayus] is used by Indonesians.
Examples of Jayus
The first example we are about to watch is from the Off The Record FNN YouTube channel. Let's watch the clip below.
In this clip, she also explains the meaning of [jayus]. She says:
Jayus itu adalah ingin melucu tapi ngga lucu. (Jayus means wanting to be funny, but it turns out not funny.)
You can watch all the clips on my Buy Me a Coffee post without the black screen. I also provided the captions in Indonesian with English translations and vocabulary explanations so you could better understand what happens in the clip. I explain this on my About Me page.
So, I think that's gonna be it for now. If I find another example, Insha Allah, I will update this article again. Thank you for reading my article, and I'll see you soon. Bye now.
