Word USED Very frequently BY Everybody
Titip is a word that can be described most closely by the word “entrust”. When a relative is going abroad and you request them to buy something from that country, you say to your relative that you want to “titip” that good. When you put your products at someone’s store for them to sell, you “titip” your goods to their store. When you send your children for mentorship under a trusted friend, you “titip” your children to be mentored well by your friend. In informal spoken Indonesian, the formal base word “titip” is often said as “nitip”, which is the shortened version of “menitip” (to titip).
