´

memergokinya membawa kabur perabotan perak.´

because the meaning from each word cannot give the same sense of the idiom.

into the sky, while in Indonesia, the people think when they play fireworks, whatever the kind is, they flare up the fuse of the firework. That is why in Indonesia, the word
´menyala´ is used. 14.

simply translated as ´dia tak suka keterlambatan´ in the TL. 15.
In those days, I was always on time.´Pada masa itu, aku selalu tepat waktu.´

TL with diferrent wordings. Since ´on´ in Indonesia means ´di atas´, not ´tepat´. 16.
