Have you ever heard "AKU RAPOPO" words? Have you ever found that words became trending topic Twitter? People usually used hashtag Aku Rapopo (#AkuRapopo) to express their sad feeling.
Then the question is, "what's the meaning of Aku Rapopo?".
Aku Rapopo consist of two words: "aku" (means: me/I) and "rapopo" (means: it's okay/nothing happen). It absorbed from Java language.
Haven't known yet
how this words could
be so booming in
cyber world. The
use of this words by Javanese people has been existed since ancient
times. It describes that Javanese people are good at
hiding their feelings in front of other with
words "Aku Rapopo". It's like apofasis or antithesis words for Javanese people. Sometimes, Javanese hide their feeling to respect others, they keep their feeling so that others
can not read the true
feeling. This is actually a contradiction, I mean like a pleasantries cultural by Javanese style. Whereas you have to hide your feeling because
if your feelings read by someone else,
then you are considered as a whiner.
