Vocabulary
Here are some Javanese words for family members:
| Javanese | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Bapak | bɔpɔk | father |
| Ibu | ibu | mother |
| Anak | anak | child |
| Kakak | kakak | older sibling |
| Adik | adik | younger sibling |
| Kakek | kakɛk | grandfather |
| Nenek | nɛnɛk | grandmother |
| Cucu | tʃutʃu | grandchild |
| Sepupu | sɛpupu | cousin |
| Paman | pamɑn | uncle |
| Bibi | bibi | aunt |
| Kerabat | kɛrɑbɑt | extended family |
Note: Javanese distinguishes between older and younger siblings, rather than just "brother" or "sister", as in English. Also, the word "kerabat" refers to blood relatives beyond the nuclear family, such as grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Let's use some of these words in sentences:
- Bapakku tani manuk. (My father is a farmer.)
- Ibumu tani jagung. (Your mother plants corn.)
- Anakku siji. (I have one child.)
- Kakakku tresna musik. (My older sibling loves music.)
- Adikmu takon kabèh. (Your younger sibling asks a lot of questions.)
- Kakekku wis metu saking rumah sakit. (My grandfather was discharged from the hospital.)
- Nenekku seneng memasak. (My grandmother enjoys cooking.)
- Cucuku yènèn. (My grandchild is a girl.)
- Sepupuku wonten belahan dateng. (My cousin is coming to visit.)
- Pamanku tengah wus tansah lakon lelungan. (My uncle is always traveling.)
- Bibimu seneng garing molè. (Your aunt likes to make crispy molè.)
- Awaké kerabatku loro kaos. (My extended family has two cars.)
If you notice, the possessive pronouns "ku" and "mu" are used in these sentences to indicate "my" and "your", respectively.
Cultural Information
In Javanese culture, respect for elders is highly valued. Children are taught to address their parents and older siblings with formal titles, such as "Bapak" and "Kakak", instead of using their names. This is seen as a way of showing respect and courtesy.
Additionally, extended family members often play a significant role in Javanese society. It is common for families to help each other out in times of need, and for younger generations to take care of their elders. In some cases, extended family members may even live together under one roof.
The concept of "gotong-royong" is also important in Javanese culture. This term refers to the practice of communal cooperation and mutual aid. When a member of the community needs help with a task or project, other members will come together to assist them. This can range from a small-scale task like planting rice to a large-scale project like building a house. Gotong-royong reflects the Javanese belief in the power of collective action and the importance of working together to achieve a common goal.
Learning the Javanese words for family members is not only useful from a language perspective, but it also helps to deepen your understanding of Javanese culture and values. By showing respect for elders, honoring the importance of extended family, and embracing the spirit of gotong-royong, you can more fully appreciate the richness of Javanese society.
