Can someone who speaks Indonesian please tell me what “gombal

” means? Many Indonesian girls tell me I am good at speaking gombal or that I’m a professional at speaking gombal so I would like to know what it means.

    We use “gombal” when man says something sweet, but we don’t really buy it. Example: 👱‍♂️: You look pretty tonight. 👱‍♀️: Gombal But word “gombal” actually comes from “napkin” or unused clothes that we Indonesian use to clean something.

    Gombal is sweet talk but doesn't make sense. Like "baby, you are so beautiful like a moon. You are so sweet like a nutella. How could a woman such a beautiful as an angel like you still single?" and many more. 🤣

    In this context, someone would call you gombal when you’re trying to flirt with them.
