Indonesian term or phrase: Mbakyu itu nggak mampu menterjemah
dari frase, "Mbakyu itu nggak mampu menterjemah karena dia tidak bisa bahasa Inggris, dan rupanya tidak punya kamus bhs. Inggris. Dia suka sekali spam milisnya."
Jangan Spam
English translation:...cannot translate...
Explanation:
Mbakyu cannot translate it because she doesn't know any English, and apparently she doesn't own an English dictionary. She loves spam.
Saya tambahkan 'it' di belakang translate karena dalam konteks kurang jelas apa yang tidak mampu diterjemahkan mbakyu itu. Boleh diganti dengan objek yang lebih tepat nantinya (tapi harus ada objek; sebaiknya jangan 'cannot translate' saja).

neutral  yam2u: that last bit should be "She just loves to spam/spamming her mailing list". "She loves spam" is quite inaccurate; also 'spam' as a noun may also refer to that spiced ham luncheon meat made famous by Hormel.

  -> she loves spamming her own mailing list??? Mungkin asker bisa jelaskan, tapi saya kira maksud kalimat ini adalah Mbakyu suka menerima/membaca junk mail. That's the basis of my suggestion.
neutral  Louis SOETEDJA: 'she loves the spam in her mailing list' ????

  -> perlu dilihat konteks yang lebih luas. Kalau dalam kalimat-kalimat sebelumnya sudah cukup jelas bahwa topiknya menyangkut e-mail, maka saya rasa 'spam' saja sudah cukup.
