"Tini ramah, tapi Tono nakal."

Translation: Tini is friendly, but Tono is naughty.

All I know is he wants to put salt in your coffee and keeps bothering Andi's work. Tono is a bad, bad man.

[AshtonLeah4]

So thats why Tini ended up pregnant

Is naughty like bad behavior, or like sexually kinky?

[demoksaputra]

It can mean both, depending on context.

[Away54]

As Tini is ramah, the meaning of nakal is "Tono has a bad behaviour" (e.g., tidak sopan) because tapi is to explain things that are contradictory or incompatible.

Example: "Andi cepat, tapi Budi lambat" = Andi is fast, but Budi is slow.

[adrianwhatever]

so what would you use in place of "tapi"if the sentence was "Tini is friendly, BUT Tono is the most friendly"

[deactivated user]

Lmao, I think you ask because nakal is almost naked.

[HenriCooks]

Not natively Indonesian, but when I hear it, it's almost always the second context.

[AbdullahAAK]

Tono can be both friendly and naughty can't he?

[adrianwhatever]

It doesn't seem to accept that Tono is BAD just that he is NAUGHTY. Is the difference less nuanced than I thought, or should it accept "bad"?

[BorblaDr.S]

Cheeky maybe?
Tapi=whereas
Hence: Tini is nice whereas/but Tono is cheeky.
