Untranslatable: Kondangan

Kondangan means to attend a wedding ceremony or reception. It's a handy single word to describe this activity. In daily conversation, if a friend of yours notices that you dress up, they may ask, 'Are you gonna kondangan?' This question has a double meaning, though. It may be that your friend just wants to clarify, judging by your look, whether you are really attending a wedding ceremony or reception. Otherwise, they might imply that you are wearing a wrong dress for an occasion that actually just requires casual attire.
