Usage notes

  • This term is the most casual form of self-address commonly used by men, and is suitable for conversations among close friends. Conversely, in polite or formal situations, its usage is usually interpreted as highly disrespectful. For a more polite usage, Sundanese use kuring or an even more polite form, abdi.
  • This term can be compared to Japanese 俺 (ore) in terms of usage, as it is a very casual and is considered very disrespectful in polite or formal setting.
