Basi ..what does it mean?

- Omonganmu basi.
- Nasinya basi.
- Dia cuma basa-basi.

Do you understand those words? If don't ..read this explanation below:

Jika ada masakan (atau makanan) yang sudah lama dan mulai berbau berbeda, mungkin berbau tidak enak, berarti masakan itu basi. (If there is some food which has expired, it will begin to smell different, so the food is "basi"). Tapi kemudian, kata "basi" digunakan untuk hal2 lain (but then the word "basi" is used for other things).

Omonganmu basi = what you said has 'expired', I am sick of what you said.

Nasinya basi = the rice is expired, the rice is stale/musty.

basa-basi has different meaning. Usually when people want to begin a conversation, they do "basa-basi", by saying like "the weather is nice, isn't?" Jadi basa-basi adalah kata2 iseng saja..

Do you understand the meaning of 'basi' now?
