Javanese and Indonesian may share the same cultural roots, but their approaches to politeness are worlds apart. In this video, we dive into the intricate Ngoko, Krama Madya, and Krama Inggil levels of Javanese, which reflect social hierarchies and deep cultural traditions. We then compare these with the simpler yet respectful use of terms like "Bapak" and "Ibu" in Indonesian. Through example sentences and cultural insights, discover how these two languages uniquely navigate respect and social relationships.
