7. What can idioms and phrases tell you about culture - Budaya dalam frasa dan peribahasa

Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country and with the distance from west to east greater than that from the Pacific coast of the US to the Atlantic. And yet not many people have heard of Indonesia. The proverb “Tong kosong nyaring bunyinya”, which means "empty barrels make a loud noise" (those with no substance always boast the loudest), means that Indonesians believe we should not boast. Indonesia, which is the world's largest archipelago, harnesses its seafaring tradition in its language. For example the idiom “mati angin`’ ("dead wind") is used when somebody is helpless, as when sailing and there’s no wind, and there’s nothing you can do. Presented by Ati Kisjanto, teacher of Indonesian to diplomats for the last 10 years.
