“Mentang-mentang” is an Indonesian expression that is used to convey a sense of resentment or disapproval towards someone who is perceived to be taking advantage of a situation, especially if they have some advantage or privilege. It’s often used in a negative context to imply that someone is acting arrogantly or exploiting a circumstance simply because they have certain advantages or opportunities that others do not.
For example :
- “Mentang-mentang dia punya banyak uang, jadi nggak peduli sama barang-barangnya” (He’s being careless because he has a lot of money, so he doesn’t care about his belongings.)
- “Mentang-mentang mereka punya jabatan tinggi, jadi merasa bisa melakukan apa aja.” (They think they can do whatever they want just because they have high-ranking positions.)
- “Jangan mentang-mentang kamu lebih tua, bisa seenaknya nyuruh orang lain.” (Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you can boss others around as you please.)
- “Mentang-mentang punya kekayaan, dia merasa bisa beli segalanya.” (She thinks she can buy everything just because she’s wealthy.)
- “Mentang-mentang tinggal dekat kantor, mereka sering telat datang.” (They’re often late to work just because they live close to the office.)
