Naik Daun In Indonesian
[Naik daun], if translated word for word, means riding the leaves. This meaning makes absolutely no sense. And this is not the real meaning of the phrase.
[Naik daun] means something or someone that is currently on the rise, rising in popularity, and widely known by a lot of people.
Example sentence:
1. Sedang naik daun, ini profil Raissa Anggiani, penyanyi “Kau Rumahku” yang diapresiasi Ahmad Dhani. (Rising star Raissa Anggiani: A profile of the singer behind “Kau Rumahku,” who has received praise from Ahmad Dhani.)
2. Ketika daun pisang mulai naik daun. (When banana leaves start rising in popularity.)
[Naik daun] in this example sentence means that the banana leaves are starting to be sought after and used by many people.
