    Udara di sini nggak cuma panas, tapi juga lembab.

    The air here is not just hot, but also humid.

11. 1:11

    Kalau kamu jalan kaki lima menit aja ke minimarket, badanmu pasti udah berkeringat.

    If you walk just 5 minutes to the convenience store, you’re definitely going to be sweating.

12. 1:21

    Rasanya lengket dan nggak nyaman.

    It feels sticky and uncomfortable.

13. 1:24

    Nah, karena itulah orang Indonesia biasanya mandi dua kali sehari.

    That’s why Indonesians usually shower twice a day.

14. 1:33

    Pagi sebelum beraktifitas dan sore atau malam habis pulang kerja.

    In the morning before starting activities and in the evening or at night after work.

15. 1:42

    Mandi pagi supaya badan segar dan siap kerja.

    A morning shower is to feel fresh and ready for work.

    Mandi sore untuk buang semua debu, polusi, dan keringat.

    An evening shower is to wash off all the dust, pollution, and sweat.

17. 1:54

    Kalau nggak mandi sore, rasanya susah banget untuk tidur nyenyak.

    If you don’t shower in the evening, it’s really hard to sleep well.

    In Indonesia, there are two common ways to shower.

19. 2:06

    Di kota besar mungkin pakai shower dan air hangat.

    In big cities, people might use a shower and warm water.

20. 2:11

    Tapi di banyak tempat, orang masih pakai bak mandi dan gayung.

    But in many places, people still use a bathtub and a scoop.

21. 2:21

    Gayung itu kayak gelas, tapi untuk mandi.

    The scoop is like a cup, but for showering.

22. 2:27

    Rasanya segar banget waktu badan kena air dingin di cuaca yang lagi panas-panasnya.

    It feels really refreshing when cold water hits your body in the heat.

23. 2:36

    Oh iya, ada istilah lucu dalam bahasa Indonesia.

    Oh, there’s a funny term in Indonesian.

    Namanya mandi bebek.

    It’s called "mandi bebek."

25. 2:45

    Ada yang tau artinya?

    Does anyone know what it means?

26. 2:48

    Mandi bebek itu artinya mandi yang cepet banget.

    "Mandi bebek" means a really quick shower.

27. 2:53

    Cuma pakai air sedikit, pakai sabun sebentar, terus selesai.

    Just a little water, a quick lather with soap, and you’re done.

28. 2:59

    Biasanya ini karena udah terlambat bangun pagi.

    Usually, this happens because you woke up late in the morning.

29. 3:06

    Tapi ya, kebanyakan orang Indonesia memang mandi cepat.

    But yes, most Indonesians do take quick showers.

30. 3:12

    Salah satunya saya.

    I’m one of them.

31. 3:15

    Buat orang Indonesia, yang penting badannya segar dan wangi sabun.

    For Indonesians, what matters is feeling fresh and smelling like soap.

32. 3:22

    Jadi buat kamu yang lagi di Indonesia, jangan heran kalau temanmu tanya

    So for those of you in Indonesia, don’t be surprised if your friend asks,

33. 3:28

    Eh, kamu belum mandi ya?

    "Hey, you haven’t showered yet?"

34. 3:31

    Itu bukan berarti kamu bau.

    It doesn’t mean you smell bad.

35. 3:36

    Tapi mereka cuma heran lihat kamu tetap santai walaupun udara panas banget.

    They’re just surprised to see you relaxed even though it’s really hot outside.
