Translation: Excuse me, my wife is pregnant.

Shouldnt permisi be there instead of maaf if its excuse me?

Otherwise it should be sorry, my wife is pregnant

[Speed_Racer]

This is the 1st time I see "maaf" used to say anything other than sorry. We have been taught that "permisi" means excuse me. I am confused too

[Ibrahim679797]

They are using 'maaf' like we might use 'sorry' in certain situations. Like if your rushing through a crowd and you walk across someones path you might say 'sorry, my wife is pregnant.' You aren't really apologizing you're saying excuse me.

what's the difference between hamil and mengandung? thank you.

[Ely300535]

Tbh there's no major difference. Hamil is like saying "My girlfriend is pregnant". Mengandung is like saying "My girlfriend is expecting a child". Same meaning tho

[Heskiel1]

it's kinda like "my girlfriend contains baby" like "my drink contains strawberry"
