nyapres
- 1.
to run for president (slang)
Informal verb derived from capres (calon presiden) with the ny- prefix (colloquial nasal prefix replacing meng-). A great example of how Indonesians turn abbreviations into verbs: capres → nyapres, like English turning Google into to google.
Puluhan tahun pasca reformasi pulau jawa jarang banget kena pemadaman bergilir, cuman sekarang aja sering. Lain kali kalo ada calon yang nyapres berkali kali kalah mulu jangan di coblos, tau sendiri kan sekarang kenapa kalah terus
For decades after reformasi, Java almost never got rolling blackouts, but now they happen all the time. Next time there's a candidate who runs for president over and over and keeps losing, don't vote for them — you can see for yourself now why they kept losing.
