RE: A Story From The Market

in Worldmappin3 years ago

Thank you for the story and I will re-read it later. Usually we call the bazaar a very big market filled with big and modern products, but your story suggests otherwise.

Sort:  

Oh yeah, In that way, Bazaar is a different concept of Pasar Traditional. Many western media often refer this place as wet market but it's not quite right either, because it sells more than just seafood or dairy.

A lot of Indonesian word is also derived from Persian, sankrits, and more. Pasar itself is etymologically from Bazaar. And like I mentioned, the word after Pasar is often indicating what kind of place is. So, it's gonna be a different thing when I say Pasar Modern (supermarket, modern market), or Pasar Ikan(fish market).
