lain waktu saja ya


Explanation:
Untuk percakapan sehari-hari, ungkapan 'raincheck' digunakan untuk menolak melakukan sesuatu pada saat itu juga dan dinilai lebih sopan daripada langsung mengatakan 'no'. Merujuk gaya bahasa pada contoh kalimat, padanan 'lain waktu saja ya' bisa digunakan.

Pokok maknanya adalah:
1. menolak dengan sopan
Dalam budaya Indonesia, penolakan dengan sopan biasanya dimulai dengan kata "Maaf".
2. menolak ajakan saat ini, tapi memberi kemungkinan peluang untuk masa datang. Ungkapan Indonesia yang pas dengan hal ini adalah "jangan sekarang".
3. berhubung penolakan dilakukan dengan sopan, maka perlu intonasi yang halus.
Untuk memperhalus intonasi, dapat ditambahkan kata "ya" di bagian belakang.

Jadi, padanan untuk idiom "take a rain check" adalah "Maaf, jangan sekarang ya".
