"They still cook rice."

Translation: Mereka tetap memasak nasi.

[wolfe.mcbr]

Id have thought mereka masih memasak nasi. Tetap has a sense of permanence which i dont get from the ebglish word still.

[donny309620]

Yes you are right "tetap" is usually associated with a sense of permanence. Therefore, "masih" is a better word to use in this cotext.

Hi there! In the Malaysian language we have a specific word to cook rice: menanak nasi. Do you use it in Indonesian too? Mekasih!

[1CN5ijzC]

Yea, there is also "menanak nasi' ini Indonesian too

[Nasali9]

I thought it will be "Mereka masih masak nasi" btw im Indonesian, i just want to try the Indonesian (/ω＼)

[StephenL1]

Does this sentence imply more information? I remember reading somewhere that tetap is what you would use in the sense of "despite".

EG: I told them I don't like rice, but they still cook rice.

[Pak_John]

mereka tetap memasak beras should be accepted, since the word nasi refers to rice which is already cooked
