I Don't Understand AMERICAN ENGLISH!!!!!

America, we need to talk!

Amerika, kita perlu ngomong! Saat kalian bilang ke aku kalau "jam" sebenarnya adalah "jelly", aku bisa ngerti

Now when you told me that jam was actually jelly I didn't mind.

When you told me that coriander was cilantro I was ok with that.

Saat kalian bilang ke aku kalau "coriander" (ketumbar) sama dengan "cilantro" (ketumbar), aku bisa ngerti. Saat kalian menyamakan

When you told me that get got got was actually get got gotten, it was hard but I worked through

"get got got" dengan "get got gotten", sulit buat aku untuk ngerti, tapi yasudahlah. Sekarang aku

it.

masih nggak yakin kalau pissed artinya marah, bukan mabuk, tapi oke lah, nggak masalah.

Now I'm still not sure that pissed should be angry and not drunk, but ok don't worry

about that one.

But what the hell is an eggplant and why doesn't it look like this?

Tapi, kenapa terong nggak kelihatan seperti ini? Kalau petrol artinya

If petrol is gas, then what's gas?

gas, terus gas sendiri apa dong? Dan kalau trousers artinya celana, itu bikin bingung banget, guys! Dan jangan bikin aku

And trousers being pants, that's so confusing guys!

And don't get me started on fanny packs.

nyoba ngartiin fanny packs. Jangan! Sekarang aku menerima semua perbedaan ini, gimanapun juga

Don't get me started!

Now I accept all these differences, after all English is a beautiful rich language where

Bahasa Inggris tuh indah dan beragam. Tapi guys, ada

variety should be celebrated.

But guys there is one phrase, one phrase that I cannot accept America.

satu frasa, satu frasa yang bikin aku nggak bisa ngertiin Amerika. Aku nggak bisa nerima. 'Aku bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi'

I cannot accept it.

'I could care less' I could care less doesn't make any sense.

Aku bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi itu nggak masuk akal. Di bahasa Inggris British ada istilah "Aku NGGAK bisa

In British English we have a phrase 'I couldn't care less' which means that you don't care

peduli lebih sedikit lagi" yang artinya kamu emang nggak peduli sama sekali, kamu nggak kuatir

about something that you are not worried about something.

tentang sesuatu. Kayak, terserah deh. Emang gue pikirin. Misalnya gini, ada orang bilang ke aku kalau Dave

That, yeah, whatever, I don't mind.

So for example somebody tells me that Dave thinks I'm rude.

ngerasa aku tuh nggak sopan. Aku nggak bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi atas pendapat Dave. Aku nggak bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi. Aku nggak

I couldn't care less what Dave thinks.

I couldn't care less.

I don't care, whatever!

peduli, terserah! Dave bisa berpendapat semau dia. Frasa itu, aku ngggak bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi,

Dave can think whatever he wants.

Now that phrase, I couldn't care less, everything is explained in that sentence.

udah ngejelasin semuanya dalam satu kalimat. Tingkat kepedulianku tuh segini. Aku nggak peduli sama sekali dan aku

Here's how much I care.

I don't care and i cannot care any less.

nggak bisa lebih nggak peduli lagi. Udah mentok. Tingkat kepedulianku ya cuman segini, nol. Nggak

Nothing.

This is the lowest I can go of caring which is zero.

There is no more below it.

bisa ke bawah lagi. Ini di titik nol, aku bener-bener nggak peduli. Tapi di American English, mereka punya frasa 'Aku BISA

This is zero, I care not at all.

Now in American English 'I could care less' it has the same meaning as 'I couldn't care

peduli lebih sedikit lagi' yang mereka sama artikan dengan 'Aku NGGAK BISA peduli lebih sedikit lagi' Hah?

less'.

But wait!

I could care less.

What?

There's more caring, I could care less.

Bukannya itu berarti masih ada kepedulian ya? Aku bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi. Aku pedulinya cuman segini dan mereka bilang

So this is how much I care and they are saying I could care less.

aku bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi. Itu berarti aku bisa pedulinya segini atau segini. Hah? Tunggu,

That means that I could care this much or this much.

What?

But wait, if you are saying that you don't care why are you saying that you could care

kalau kamu bilang kamu emang nggak peduli, kenapa kamu bilang kamu bisa lebih nggak peduli lagi? Ini

less.

This doesn't make sense.

nggak masuk akal. Kamu bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi berarti kan masih ada kepedulian di bawah sini. Aku bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi,

You could care less surely then there is more here.

I could care less, here, here?

bisa disini, atau disini. Mana titik nolnya? Nggak masuk akal. Kalau kamu bisa peduli lebih sedikit lagi, kamu bisa

Where is the bottom?

It doesn't make sense.

If you could care less, you could care less.

peduli lebih sedikit lagi. Aku mikirnya kamu cuma peduli sedikit aja. Kalau kamu ngomong 'Aku bisa

So you care a little bit is what you are telling me.

If you are saying I could care less, you are telling me that you care at least a little

peduli lebih sedikit lagi, itu sama aja kamu peduli seenggaknya cuman sedikit. Tapi masalahnya bukan itu yang

bit.

But that's not what you mean.

You mean you don't care.

kamu maksud. Maksud kamu adalah kamu tidak peduli. Kalau tidak peduli seharusnya kamu ngomongnya 'Aku nggak bisa

If you don't care surely you would say 'I couldn't care less.'

peduli lebih sedikit lagi.' Nggak ada lagi hal yang buat aku peduli. Frasa yang satu ini guys, aku bener-bener nggak ngerti.

There's nothing more for me to care.

This one guys, I'm sorry I don't understand.
