ENAKNYA kita jalan ke mana ya?

YL: Numpang tanya artinya apa kalimat ini?"enaknya kita jalan ke mana ya?"
Saya tahu "kita jalan ke mana?" Tapi"enaknya" artinya apa disini? Terima Kasih.

Answer: 
Biasanya, "enaknya" digunakan untuk makanan. "Enaknya makanan ini.." (This food is delicious).

(literally "enak(nya)" means "delicious" (for food)). 

Tapi dalam percakapan non-formal, kata "enak(nya)" juga sering dipakai untuk mengekspresikan perasaan "nyaman".
-- "Enaknya tinggal di sini..." (It's comfortable/nice to live here).

But in non-formal conversation, we use it also for expressing the feeling of comfort. "Enaknya tinggal di sini..." (It's comfortable/nice to live here).

Dan sering juga digunakan untuk yang lain-lain, untuk mengekspresikan hal-hal yang bagus/lebih bagus (good/better), nyaman (comfortable), lezat (delicious), dan lain-lain. 

Enaknya kita jalan ke kiri = It's better we go to the left.
Enaknya kita jalan ke mana? = It's better we go to..where..?

Contoh lain dalam percakapan sehari-hari:
Enaknya hujan-hujan begini .... tidur = it's better ..in this raining time ..we sleep. (It's better to sleep on this raining time)
Enaknya hujan-hujan begini ... ngapain ya? = it's better..on this raining time...do what ya? = it's raining, what should we do?

To make it simple, remember the word 'enaknya' mostly be used in non formal conversation. In formal situation, in this context we can use 'sebaiknya'.

"Enaknya kita jalan ke mana ya?" --> "Sebaiknya kita jalan ke mana ya?" = Where should we go? 

Sebaiknya = should/it's better
Kita = we
Jalan = walk, but in this context it means 'move'/'go'.
ke mana = to where
Literally it means "Should we go to where?" --> Where should we go?

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?

Artis Youtube: Nathan Fingerstyle


Recently I often watch videos on youtube, by 'Nathan Fingertyle'. He's a guitar player, a fingerstyle guitar player. (Baru-baru ini aku sering nonton video di youtube, videonya Nathan Fingerstyle. Dia pemain gitar 'fingerstyle')

I know there are many other cool guitar players in Indonesia, let alone in this world. But he is the only one that can make me want to watch again and again. (Ku tahu ada banyak pemain gitar yang keren di Indonesia, apalagi di dunia. Tapi dia mungkin satu-satunya pemain gitar yang membuatku ingin menonton videonya lagi dan lagi.)

The way he plays guitar, and at the same time he also plays percussion on his guitar, they are very enjoyable..and the percussion sounds very Indonesian..at least for me :D . (Cara dia memainkan gitar, dan pada bersamaan bermain perkusi dengan gitarnya, sangat asik buat dinikmati..dan permainannya terdengar sangat Indonesia..setidaknya menurutku begitu :D ).

Some people even made duet with him, by combining his video with theirs. (Beberapa orang bahkan berduet dengannya, dengan mengkombinasi video Nathan dengan video mereka sendiri).

Look at two of his videos below, what do you think?  (Coba lihat dua video di bawah, bagaimana menurutmu?)

Cinta Terbaik - Cassandra band

jujur saja ku tak mampu
hilangkan wajahmu di hatiku
meski malam mengganggu
hilangkan senyummu di mataku
ku sadari aku cinta padamu

meski ku bukan yang pertama di hatimu
tapi cintaku terbaik untukmu
meski ku bukan bintang di langit
tapi cintaku yang terbaik

jujur saja ku tak mampu
tuk pergi menjauh darimu
meski hatiku ragu
kau tak di sampingku setiap waktu
ku sadari aku cinta padamu

meski ku bukan yang pertama di hatimu
tapi cintaku terbaik untukmu

Cinta Terbaik (The best love)

Honestly, I am not able
to remove your face from my heart
although the night (becomes) disturbing
(can't) remove your smile from my eyes
I realize I'm in love with you

although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love (for you) is the best

Honestly, I am not able
to go from you
although my heart is hesitated
and you're not beside me everytime
I realize I'm in love with you

although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love (for you) is the best

oh although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love (for you) is the best

oh although I am not the first in your heart
but my love for you is the best
although I am not a star in the sky
but my love is the best (my love is the best)
but my love is the best (my love is the best)

Hanya Satu Kata (Only One Word) - Harry Mukti

Hanya satu kata
Tiada tempat terucap
Walau kita berjumpa
Dan saling menyapa

Hanya satu kata
Kembali karam di hati
Walau sering bicara
Sampai lupa waktu

Dimana kuharus mencari
Sebuah kata yang hilang
Saat denganmu

Bukan banyak kata
Ketika ingin bicara
Tentang bara di dada
cukup satu kata

Jangan kau ragu dan membisu
Ucapkan saja isi hatimu
Lewat satu kata
Ketika ingin bicara
Tentang bara di dada
Cukup satu kata
................
Only one word
but no place of speaking that
Although we've met
And greet each other

Only one word
(but it) went back and sank into my heart
Although (we) often talk
Till we forget the time

Where do I have to search
A missing word
When I'm with you

It's Not many words
I want to talk
about a flame in (my) chest
(it's) just one word

(the singer talks to himself:)
Do not be hesitated and silent
Just say what's in your heart
Through one word
When you want to talk
about a flame in (your) chest
Just one word
