Thanks for the material that you gave to us sir. At first, I don't even know what is Euphemisms because I just hear it from the semantic material. After hearing your explanation, I know that Euphemisms can change how we use words. From rough to mild, unpleasant to pleasant, and so on. I just realized that Euphemisms have already been in my life since I was born.
Thank you for your explanation sir One of the strategies to keep smooth interactions through social media is using euphemisms. A number of previous studies have confirmed that the contribution of euphemisms in maintaining interpersonal interactions for “safety” reason is undeniable. As social media allows communication across cultures, social media users also have to consider cultural factors in using euphemisms.
after watching this video I understand about euphemisms and I think it is very interesting, I will use euphemism in my daily life to avoid taboo words, thank you sir🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for the explanation, Sir🙏🏻 When we talk about Euphemism research, we can relate it with pragmatics, sociolingusitics, and anthropolinguistics and also I think we as users of social media should better understand euphemisms, so that there will be harmonization in social interaction through internet networks.
Melati Agustina Nk2-21 Thank you sir for the explanation. From this video, I can add to my knowledge about euphemism. Euphemisms are polite expressions used for words or phrases that might be considered harsh or unpleasant to hear. Euphemism is very necessary in everyday life in communicating, both directly and through social media. Because if we use language that is not polite or considered taboo in society, it will definitely have a negative meaning for society. Euphemisms are also needed in social media, because if we comment on someone's post and we use words that are taboo or not good, even though we actually mean well, it can be considered a negative comment and cause disputes. Therefore, we must be able to choose good and wise words when communicating so as not to cause misunderstandings in conveying and receiving information.
I agree with you. There are lots of vulgar expressions used in the social media. I think this is a good proposal to reduce such expressions in the social media.
It's really interesting how the euphemism actually works in our daily life. Thank you so much for the explanation sir. Now i can imagine how to use it in terms of daily conversation or maybe found some sort of word that has no literal meaning on it. Maybe in my favourite youtuber videos or in a newspaper.
Thank you for your explanation, sir. This is my first-time hearing about euphemisms and I am interested already. Since human is social creature and we communicate every day, euphemisms will always be used according to our social and cultural context. Even when the technology has developed and we can communicate online without meeting directly, I realize we still use euphemism to maintain our relationship with others. As a teenager who use social media a lot, I find it interesting since I can learn more about linguistics in the media that I am familiar with. In addition, about the case of Lutfi several years ago, I do think that he was wrong when he said ‘Anjay’ is a rough word and it was the same as ‘Anjing’ because I open social media every day and from my view, ‘Anjay’ is milder than the original word. And your explanation clarifies my thoughts. Furthermore, this topic opens my mind again about how language is so related to my everyday life. Then, I am also interested to analyze more about euphemisms even in another culture in order to have good communicative competence. Nurul Sahqinah (20019049) - Studies on Semantics B
Thankyou for the good explanation sir, after I watch the video I know euphemism is discussed on figuratif language and also figuratif language is the opposite of literal language. If we want to do the research on euphemisms , the research is not only limited to research on semantic, but also Sosiolinguistic and Anthropolinguistics.
Annisa fitri (20019026) Ling - A Thank you for the explanation sir. I got to know that euphemisms, which is the way to make our expression sounds pleasant and polite is cultural or influenced by the culture where they are used. Some expression that is considered neutral in one culture can be considered impolite in another culture. So, there are expression that need to be euphemized in one culture, but may not need to be euphemized in another culture. That way, euphemisms allow us to have a good communication across culture. Furthermore, using euphemisms in communicating also shows our commumicative competence in maintaining relationships with others. I think euphemisms is an interesting topic to be researched more.
Thank you for your explanation, Sir. It's an interesting topic. I just realized that euphemism is common in our everyday life, both online and offline. In Indonesia, we've recently heard the term "oknum" instead of "corruptor" to cover up the truth. Although it is linguistically acceptable, some Indonesians object to the use of the term. I think this can be also an interesting topic for further research. Indah Sri Mayeni (20019004) - Studies on Semantic A
Thank you for the explanation, sir. Honestly, this is my first time hearing the term Euphenism. From the information I got, Euphenism is the use of meaning in a word that was previously less acceptable or rude to be changed into a word whose meaning is more acceptable or polite. As a new topic to me, the topic is interesting because it is rarely taught by many people. Hayatin Puspa Dilah 21019012
Thank you for the explanation, sir; this is a fascinating issue for me because this is the first time I've heard the phrase euphemism. Because humans are social creatures that communicate on a daily basis, euphemisms will always be utilized in accordance with our social and cultural background. Euphemism is used frequently in our daily lives, both online and offline. Even if technology has advanced to the point that we may speak online without physically meeting, I've noticed that we still utilize euphemisms to maintain our relationships with others. We also witness new terms appearing on a daily basis in Indonesian, English, and other cultures. That is why euphemisms are such an interesting topic to research. Meishe.S (20019044) - Ling B
Desma Fauziah (21019006) - NK 2 2021 Thank you sir for the explanation about euphemism. And now I understand that euphemism needs to be understood, especially in the modern era like now where social media is completely social where we can freely see comments and comments with various kinds of people from various regions and even other parts of the world. By understanding euphemisms, we can have more control over how we express ourselves because some words that we think are not rude may be harsh words to other people.
Yulia Fransiska Putri 20019022/ NK3-2020 Thank you for your explanation, Sir. It's make me understand about the euphemism. Euphemism is is a word or phrase that softens an uncomfortable topic. Euphemism also relate with figurative language .It uses figurative language tu refer to a situation without having to confront it. Euphemism not only occurs in semantic point of view, but also in pragmatics/antropholinguistics point of view. Euphemism relate with now situation in social media, many people use a rude word without know about the impact and the meaning it self. I interest to do a research in euphemism.
Elisabeth Christin (20019032) Thank you sir for the explanation. I think euphemisms is a very interesting study. Because in this day and age almost everyone can use social media. Even social media is a place where many people can interact. But there are not a few people who don't know how to express their way of thinking in the midst of significant cultural differences. That's why euphemisms become an interesting topic to study.

From the information I got, Euphenism is the use of meaning in a word that was previously less acceptable or rude to be changed into a word whose meaning is more acceptable or polite.

Muhammad Yusri Affandi - 20019010 Ling A
Syaifatul Azra 20019108 Ling A 20 I think this material is quite interesting, because by learning this we can speak better so that people are not offended by what we say. so euphemism is a good word or expression to replace a word that is considered offensive or something unpleasant. Euphemisms can be used to cover up profanity or refer to topics some people consider taboo such as disability, gender, excretion, or death in a polite manner.
I'm also interested in doing research on euphemisms in my culture. Nevertheless, I still worry whether the forms of euphemisms you explain in his video are also applicable in my culture. I'm particularly interested in researching forms of euphemisms.
The theory of euphemisms is certainly applicable in any languages. Nevertheless, there will be certain novelty when it is applied in different languages or cultures. I hope you would do it.
Anggi Pebrianti (20019068) Ling A Thank you for the explanation, sir. I'm quite interested in the topic of this euphemisms, because lately a lot of people talk inappropriately on social media without thinking about the situation and the impact. So with euphemisms material, we can better understand how to use more polite language.
Melati Asri Yuri - 20019045 Ling B 20 Thank you for the explanation, sir. In my opinion, in short Euphemism is about changing a word or pronunciation that has a meaning that can be considered rude to be better or polite. This is an interesting topic to analyze because from here we can avoid an unpleasant incident such as upsetting people later
Rahmat Randi Rahimi 20019100 Ling-A Thank you for the explanation sir. This is the first time i heard about euphemism. This a new and fresh material for me. The information that i got from this video is euphemism is a the use of meaning in a word that was previously less acceptable or rude into a word that is more acceptable or polite. This topic is an interesting topic , by learning this topic we can avoid the usage of words that can cause troubles among people
Muhammad Abdurrosyid Dzakhwan - (21019015) Thank you so much for your explanation sir. Previously I already heard the term euphemisms and it turned out to be very useful in our communication. By knowing what euphemisms is, I can find out how the level of use of a language in various perspectives is to keep the way we communicate polite, of course to avoid taboo words and this is related to society, culture and even universal.
Sabila Rahayu (20019054) LING A-20 I think this topic about euphemisms is very interesting to be research material, by studying euphemisms we can understand better how to use a more polite, friendly, and appropriate language in a culture. And each culture certainly has different expressions of euphemisms. By studying euphemisms in other cultures, we will also be able to distinguish the characteristics of language in those cultures.
Dian Zelly.B ( 21019007) NK2 -21 Thank you so much for the explanation Sir 🙏🏻 This topic is very interesting for me. I can conclude that euphemism is a way to make our expressions sound more pleasant or polite so it can please people's ear. Euphemism are mainly use to avoid taboo words. Euphemism is cultural because an expression that euphemized in a cultural may not need to be euphemized in another cultures. Someone who master euphemism is definitely a good communicator.
if you say "someone who master euphemism is definetly a good communicator" well that is 100% affirmative.. i do believe people who master om this topic also have a good speech.
Thank you for the explanation, sir. I got new insight after watching this video. So, euphemisms is the refinement of the meaning of words so that the words that were previously harsh and potentially offensive to some people become more polite and friendly. I think this topic is very interesting to study and research because nowadays many people are not aware that what they say is rude, especially if it is said in a place where they do not understand the culture there. If they understand this euphemisms they will be more aware of the word choice they will use. Tiara Jas Putri - 20019020 Ling A
By having good knowledge on euphemisms, you can maintain your relationship with other people even though in some occasion you also need to talk about unpleasant or sensitive topics.
Yurika tiara ramanda 21019114 NK2-21 Thank you for the great presentation sir. For this material, Euphemisms, in my opinion, make for great research topics since can help us understand how to interact in a more respectful, pleasant, and culturally appropriate way. But so far euphemisms are probably expressed differently in each culture. We will be able to identify the linguistic traits of many cultures by examining euphemisms from different cultures.
Euphemisms even become very important in today's sophisticated communication, allowing you to communicate with people from different cultures and nationality easily.
rafi sasputra (20019051) Thank you for the explanation, sir. i never heard the term euphemism before. after i watched this video,i think it is quite interesting because this topic is very important in order to avoid a conflict because a word

In this era of globalization where we can easily access social media, euphemism allows us to communicate across cultures in a more polite and behaved way. Euphemism is interesting topic because the use is differs depend on social culture. Annisa Tul Khair 21019029
Enda Heriska - 21019038 Thank you for the material explanation sir, which gave me a deeper understanding of euphemism, that this is related to the culture of cross-cultural social communication facilitated by social media. in other words these Euphemisms help us communicate with many people but still maintain politeness in language.

Dinia Irsa Lina (20019073) - NK 1 2020 Thank you for the explanation about the euphemisms, Sir. At first, I did not know what euphemisms were because its the first time I heard about that, but after watching this video, I became interested in knowing more. As you said in the video, the use of euphemisms is very common on social media. I am an active social media user and I often see new words popping up every day in Indonesian, English, or other cultures. I want to use my social media to find out and analyze in a simple way about euphemisms before analyzing them further in the future if I manage to find a novelty in euphemisms research.
Fania Wulandari (20019076) Ling A Thank you for the explanation, Sir. In my opinion this discussion about euphemism is very interesting, especially if it is associated with social media. Currently, we still encounter many social media users who do not use social media properly. they even turn their social media into an arena for spreading hatred and provoking a commotion through negative and disrespectful comments and even bullying. Through this video, I get an understanding of how to use words (communicate) well, especially on social media, both in terms of word choice, meaning, etc. I hope other social media users find your video sir because it is very useful.
Widya Sriwahyuni (20019021) Ling A Thank you so much for the explanation, sir. After watch this video, I got the new information about euphemism. I think euphemism is an interesting topic to research on, because in social media, people often give a rude comment on someone's video or pictures. Also, social media is used by people in various country, and of course various culture too. I hope more people understand about euphemism, so people more aware on the words that they use when giving comment on something.
Nurul Hanie (20019098) - LING A-20 I think this topic is really interesting. Euphemism is the substitution of expressions that are considered harsh/offensive. It makes the expression softer or more polite. This is very interesting, especially for people who are reluctant to share their opinion because they thought the language used will be too harsh for someone else. Or to the people who always share hate speech on social media and create disharmony; I think they should learn about euphemisms. Euphemism can make our expression more modern, pleasant, and polite. It is will show a certain degree of our communicative competence. The communicative function of euphemisms is to show politeness, hid the truth, or even avoid taboos. And euphemisms are influenced by the culture where they were used. Moreover, someone may not realize they use an offensive expression and thinks his/her language is just fine as usual. But, another person from another culture may find that expression offensive. This can be said, different cultures will have different expressions of euphemism. So, the expression that needs euphemizing in one culture may not need to be euphemized in another culture. And the idea of studying euphemisms across cultures is really interesting, I wonder if I can analyze and compare a euphemism expression in two different cultures, such as my culture with another culture…
Excellent. because in certain communication, we can't skip talking about sensitive topics. Therefore, knowledge of euphemisms is needed in order to make the communication run smoothly.
thank you for the explanation sir, I think euphemism is something important to learn because we learn about smoothing a word to convey something so that it is not too overt or harsh. sometimes this is necessary when talking to someone, especially when responding to something or giving advice to others. Dea Hanursyah Lutfi (20019069) Studies on Semantic A
Fitrisia Yola Jefelia 20019037 thank you for the explanation sir. i got it and i kind of confused about this topic of Euphemisms. euphemisms is the use of the meaning in word that was previously less acceptable or rude. so i think about how people describe something in their mind but it's difficult to put it in words, and when put it in words it will have different meaning or the audience will get it wrong. so maybe it is out of Euphemisms but is there any relatable with Euphemisms. and as you said sir, in social media it is very common with Euphemisms, maybe we can analyze euphemisms in social media that relate with daily life.
Thank you for the explanation sir, before I watched your video, I only knew that there were words that refined the meaning or avoided taboo words but I didn't know what they were called. After watching your video I found out that it was Euphemisms and apparently it also has several forms. Euphemisms can change over time right? because here I found some words that have only appeared recently, such as the word "anjay". Nur 'Aisyah 21018138
Thank you for your detailed explanation, sir. I think this euphemism is a very interesting topic to analyze because it makes something sound so much better than to tell the harsh truth of a situation. Your video gives me inspiration to find a topic for my research Yuniar Sitompul 20019062 - Ling A 2020
What I get in this video is: Euphemism is the substitution of words that could offend someone in a inoffensive way. I think this is the most sensitive topic to dicuss for some... People. Hahahahha (Taufik Hidayat - 20019058)
In certain communication, we can't skip talking about sensitive topics. Therefore, knowledge of euphemisms is needed in order to make the communication run smoothly.

if you say "someone who master euphemism is definetly a good communicator" well that is 100% affirmative.. i do believe people who master om this topic also have a good speech.
Nice dian! Now, because we know euphemism, we can more politely as good communicator
I agree with you. You show your competence in communication through the proper use of euphemisms.
Thank you for the explanation, sir. I got new insight after watching this video. So, euphemisms is the refinement of the meaning of words so that the words that were previously harsh and potentially offensive to some people become more polite and friendly. I think this topic is very interesting to study and research because nowadays many people are not aware that what they say is rude, especially if it is said in a place where they do not understand the culture there. If they understand this euphemisms they will be more aware of the word choice they will use.

By having good knowledge on euphemisms, you can maintain your relationship with other people even though in some occasion you also need to talk about unpleasant or sensitive topics.

Thank you for the great presentation sir. For this material, Euphemisms, in my opinion, make for great research topics since can help us understand how to interact in a more respectful, pleasant, and culturally appropriate way. But so far euphemisms are probably expressed differently in each culture. We will be able to identify the linguistic traits of many cultures by examining euphemisms from different cultures.
That's so true
Euphemisms even become very important in today's sophisticated communication, allowing you to communicate with people from different cultures and nationality easily.

Enda Heriska - 21019038
Thank you for the material explanation sir, which gave me a deeper understanding of euphemism, that this is related to the culture of cross-cultural social communication facilitated by social media. in other words these Euphemisms help us communicate with many people but still maintain politeness in language.
Thus, you can say that euphemism is one of human's communicative competencies.
so you can say that euphemism is a refinement of language so as not to hurt the feelings of the other person.
Exactly. So, the communication runs smoothly

Thank you for the explanation about the euphemisms, Sir. At first, I did not know what euphemisms were because its the first time I heard about that, but after watching this video, I became interested in knowing more. As you said in the video, the use of euphemisms is very common on social media. I am an active social media user and I often see new words popping up every day in Indonesian, English, or other cultures. I want to use my social media to find out and analyze in a simple way about euphemisms before analyzing them further in the future if I manage to find a novelty in euphemisms research.

Thank you for the explanation, Sir. In my opinion this discussion about euphemism is very interesting, especially if it is associated with social media.
Currently, we still encounter many social media users who do not use social media properly. they even turn their social media into an arena for spreading hatred and provoking a commotion through negative and disrespectful comments and even bullying.
Through this video, I get an understanding of how to use words (communicate) well, especially on social media, both in terms of word choice, meaning, etc.
I hope other social media users find your video sir because it is very useful.

Thank you so much for the explanation, sir. After watch this video, I got the new information about euphemism.
I think euphemism is an interesting topic to research on, because in social media, people often give a rude comment on someone's video or pictures. Also, social media is used by people in various country, and of course various culture too. I hope more people understand about euphemism, so people more aware on the words that they use when giving comment on something.

I think this topic is really interesting. Euphemism is the substitution of expressions that are considered harsh/offensive. It makes the expression softer or more polite. This is very interesting, especially for people who are reluctant to share their opinion because they thought the language used will be too harsh for someone else. Or to the people who always share hate speech on social media and create disharmony; I think they should learn about euphemisms.
Euphemism can make our expression more modern, pleasant, and polite. It is will show a certain degree of our communicative competence. The communicative function of euphemisms is to show politeness, hid the truth, or even avoid taboos.
And euphemisms are influenced by the culture where they were used. Moreover, someone may not realize they use an offensive expression and thinks his/her language is just fine as usual. But, another person from another culture may find that expression offensive. This can be said, different cultures will have different expressions of euphemism. So, the expression that needs euphemizing in one culture may not need to be euphemized in another culture.
And the idea of studying euphemisms across cultures is really interesting, I wonder if I can analyze and compare a euphemism expression in two different cultures, such as my culture with another culture…
Excellent. because in certain communication, we can't skip talking about sensitive topics. Therefore, knowledge of euphemisms is needed in order to make the communication run smoothly.
thank you for the explanation sir, I think euphemism is something important to learn because we learn about smoothing a word to convey something so that it is not too overt or harsh. sometimes this is necessary when talking to someone, especially when responding to something or giving advice to others.

thank you for the explanation sir. i got it and i kind of confused about this topic of Euphemisms. euphemisms is the use of the meaning in word that was previously less acceptable or rude. so i think about how people describe something in their mind but it's difficult to put it in words, and when put it in words it will have different meaning or the audience will get it wrong. so maybe it is out of Euphemisms but is there any relatable with Euphemisms.
and as you said sir, in social media it is very common with Euphemisms, maybe we can analyze euphemisms in social media that relate with daily life.
Thank you for the explanation sir, before I watched your video, I only knew that there were words that refined the meaning or avoided taboo words but I didn't know what they were called. After watching your video I found out that it was Euphemisms and apparently it also has several forms. Euphemisms can change over time right? because here I found some words that have only appeared recently, such as the word "anjay".
Nur 'Aisyah 21018138
Yes, euphemisms always develop. Therefore, you can always find novelty (newness) in studies on euphemisms.
Thank you for your detailed explanation, sir. I think this euphemism is a very interesting topic to analyze because it makes something sound so much better than to tell the harsh truth of a situation. Your video gives me inspiration to find a topic for my research

Thank you. I will be pleased if you can do research on euphemisms.
What I get in this video is: Euphemism is the substitution of words that could offend someone in a inoffensive way. I think this is the most sensitive topic to dicuss for some... People. Hahahahha
