dystopia Definition from own experience or research: Dystopia, sebuah kata dari bahasa Yunani, lawan dari utopia. This term is also sometimes written as "distopia", as used in Indonesian language. Saw this term on various blog sites, etc. (links given below): http://dystopia99.wordpress.com/ http://fadliakiti.blogspot.com/2007/03/nekad-survival-melayu... http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2010&dt=0112&pub=... Example sentence(s):
Explanation: Many words and special terms from other languages are not translated into Malay, but merely adopted into the language by changing the original word slightly (perhaps in this case, distopia would be more appropriate). As comparison, the word "Utopia" is adopted as is into Malay. |
