Hi IndoGal,
Agreed!. I choice the wrong sentence form for that word. Forgive me? (He, he…!)
Very good, Barrie.
‘Sepi’ is mostly used when you refer to a quiet town. ie. Kota ini sangat sepi = This town is very quiet. Pantai ini sangat sepi = This beach is very secluded.
The Balinese religious day referred to as ‘NYEPI’ has the same meaning as ‘SEPI’.
