   Halo semuanya, selamat datang lagi di podcast ini.

   Hello everyone, welcome back to this podcast.

2. 0:14

   Apa kabar?

   How's it going?

3. 0:15

   Hari ini kita mau bahas sesuatu yang kecil, murah, tapi sering bikin kamu bingung.

   Today we're going to talk about something small, cheap, but often leaves you confused.

4. 0:24

   Coba bayangin, kamu pergi ke warung makan yang enak.

   Imagine this: you go to a nice little eatery.

5. 0:29

   Kalian duduk, siap-siap mau makan, terus kalian lihat ada tisu gulung di atas meja.

   You sit down, ready to eat, and then you notice there's a roll of tissue on the table.

6. 0:39

   Eh, itu kan tisu toilet.

   Wait, isn't that toilet paper?

7. 0:42

   Kenapa tisu itu ada di meja makan?

   Why is that tissue on the dining table?

8. 0:46

   Hmm, jadi di Indonesia, terutama di warung, tisu gulung itu selalu ada.

   Well, in Indonesia, especially in small eateries, that roll of tissue is always there.

9. 0:55

   Kenapa?

   Why?

10. 0:57

    Karena murah dan praktis daripada tisu kotak, apalagi fungsinya sama.

    Because it's cheaper and more practical than box tissues, plus it serves the same purpose.

11. 1:07

    Sama-sama untuk lap mulut yang kena sambal, lap sendok yang mungkin kurang bersih,

    It's used to wipe your mouth after eating something spicy, clean a spoon that might not be very clean,

12. 1:15

    atau lap meja kalau ada air yang tumpah.

    or wipe the table if there's a spill.

13. 1:20

    Jangan takut, semua tisu itu bersih.

    Don't worry, all that tissue is clean.

14. 1:24

    Bukan diambil dari toilet, terus dibawa ke meja makan.

    It's not taken from the toilet and then brought to the dining table.

15. 1:31

    Tapi ya, fenomena ini nggak akan ada di restoran mewah, di mal atau hotel berbintang.

    But yeah, this phenomenon doesn't happen in fancy restaurants, malls, or five-star hotels.

16. 1:41

    Di sana pasti pakai tisu kotak yang lebih halus atau serbet kain.

    There, they definitely use softer box tissues or cloth napkins.

17. 1:48

    Lucunya ya, banyak orang Indonesia yang sudah terbiasa sama hal ini.

    It's funny, many Indonesians are so used to this.

18. 1:57

    Jadi, kadang waktu orang Indonesia pergi ke luar negeri dan masuk ke toilet,

    So sometimes when Indonesians go abroad and enter a restroom,

19. 2:04

    mereka ngerasa, wah, tisunya bagus ya.

    they feel, wow, this tissue is nice.

20. 2:09

    Ini contoh unik gimana fungsi satu benda bisa berubah total

    This is a unique example of how the function of one item can completely change

21. 2:17

    karena budaya dan kebiasaan masyarakat lokal.

    because of local culture and habits.

22. 2:24

    Kalau memang kamu nggak biasa pakai tisu gulung di meja makan,

    If you're not used to having roll tissue on the dining table,

23. 2:29

    selalu bawa tisu sendiri di tas ya?

    always carry your own tissues in your bag, okay?

24. 2:33

    Saya juga biasanya gitu.

    I usually do that too.

25. 2:36

    Lagipula, saya nggak akan bingung kalau perlu setiap saat.

    Besides, I won't be confused if I need it at any time.

26. 2:41

    Gimana menurut kalian?

    What do you all think?

27. 2:43

    Apa di negara kalian ada kebiasaan yang mirip?

    Is there a similar habit in your country?

28. 2:48

    Atau mungkin ada benda lain yang fungsinya beda di negara kalian?

    Or maybe there's another item that serves a different purpose in your country?

29. 2:55

    Sampai di sini dulu ya untuk episode 8.

    That's it for episode 8.

30. 2:59

    Sampai ketemu di episode depan.

    See you in the next episode.
