tumben

Word used often by Everybody

Noun • Tumben is a word used to express that emotion of slight surprise when you witness someone does something that is out of their usual habit or out of their stated commitment. It can also be used as a sarcastic remark for the same situation above (you witnessing someone who does something out of their usual habit/out of their stated commitment).

“Tumben bangun pagi, biasanya molor mulu.” “Tumben lu minum, katanya gak mau minum alkohol lagi.” “Kok tumben lu minum kopi?”

“Wow it’s surprising that you wake up early, you usually sleep in.” “What a surprise that you’re drinking, you said you wouldn’t drink alcohol anymore.” “(It’s unusual,) what makes you drink coffee (now)?”
