F. Cultural Notes
In Javanese you will find three different levels of formality or politeness. And each level has its own
words or language. Those three levels are Ngoko, Krama Madya and Krama Inggil. It often happens
that Krama Madya and Krama Inggil have the same words. The way to know how to use those
different levels of formality (politeness) is by knowing the social status and the age of the people
we talk to or the people we talk about also the event or situation when we are talking. If you do
not know about the people age or social status, It is safe to use Krama Inggil.
