Karena dulu kakekku itu pengusaha kretek tapi dia pengusaha kretek yang kecil di kota kecil juga. Aku ngga pernah ketemu kakekku cuman **certitanya dia** tuh terus mengalir gitu ya, **setiap (kali?)** kita kumpul di rumah kakek gitu, dari **Pakde, Bude, om, tante** nah **nyangkut** tuh di kepala sampai gede sampai aku udah nulis **(be?)berapa** buku, masih nyangkut di situ. Akhirnya terus aku pikir tadinya tuh gadis kretek **kuupikir** cuma akan jadi certia pendek ya, ngga tahunya **dia** malah jadi segitu berkembang. 🌈pertanyaan 1️⃣In the third sentence, are these just the same? setiap kali aku pergi ke sana setiap aku pergi ke sana aku udah nulis beberapa buku aku udah nulis berapa buku 2️⃣I just learned the new word “nyangkut(=be stuck?)”, and I don’t quite understand the sentence structure here. I know these are supposed to be run-on sentences since she’s speaking casually, but I just wanted to make sure if I’m understanding them correctly so I can use it next time. Is the subject “ceritanya dia”? so is it like: ceritanya dia… nyangkut tuh di kepala … ? 3️⃣I know om=uncle(paman), tante=aunt(bibi) and it’s my first time hearing pakde, bude, do they have the same meaning? 4️⃣what does “kuupikir” mean? (or is it “kupikir”? “Kuupikir” is from the auto-generated subtitle) it seems to mean “aku pikir” based on the English translation, when do people usually say it like that? 5️⃣And the last question is in the sentence “ngga tahunya dia malah jadi segitu berkembang,” can I understand “dia” as “gadis kretek”? So many questions just for a couple of sentences😭 I'd really appreciate any answers you can give! ## Learning Language **Indonesian** ## Topics #316 #130453 #579 ## Metadata - **Posted**: 6/3/2025 - **View on HelloTalk**: [https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/OtIbrWvLvNZtHD.md](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/OtIbrWvLvNZtHD.md) ## Engagement -
