And that is exactly why I always reply back with "Kembali kasih", because I want the other party to accept the same warmth. It's like, "Here, please accept my gratitude, too. Let me return the love you gave to me."
Need more people to choose "kembali kasih" over "sama-sama" as a form of response. Yes, I return the warmth you gave me. Yes, I can feel the grace that you handed over to me. Yes, it flows in me like a gentle tide. Now allow me to reciprocate
Reminds me of how โTerima kasihโ will never be on par with its English translation, and this is the hill I will die on. It literally means youโre acknowledging and accepting a form of warmth, fondness, gratuity, and even the love that has been given to you.
