If so,pls tell me background of this sentence.And,at what suitation we can use this proverb?And,why don't DIRECT DICTIONARY add
proverb searching function?

what is the meaning of the proverb? tidak mati oleh belanda? I'm sorry for saying this, but I myself don't understand and tell you the truth, i didn't know that we have such a proverb... I'll ask my friends to find out, I'll let you know then.

Edwin and Yerun,
I've asked a number of friends about the proverb and just like me, they are all confused and say they have never heard of such proverb. There is one proverb saying: BELANDA MASIH JAUH, or Belanda is still far away/ in means: chill out; relax, take your time, dont rush. We use this proverb to somebody who does things in a hurry/ rush whilst they still have a lot of time. Does it help?
Tidak mati oleh Belanda? Perhaps it is used to tell the story about Si Pitung, a Betawi legendary hero who was said to have a magical strength and immunity that ordinary bullets couldn't kill him. He could only be killed by silver bullet, and that's exactly what got him killed: a silver bullet.
aaargh, sorry Yerun, instead of helping you, I am reviewing history. maaf yaaaa

I don't recognize that phrase as a proverb in Indonesia Edwin....It doesn't have any other meaning than "not kill by the dutch"

>If we sit back and repeat the sentence, it might be part of a long sentence. (incomplete sentence such as" HOW YOU GET MONDAY?")
>It must have been written / said by "A PERSON/s UNWORRIED by ANY RULES OF LANGUAGE CONVENTIONS...
>For example: ...."such and such' grandfather died in 1944, tapi dia tidak "mati oleh Belanda", tapi oleh "JEPANG"....(This person died, NOT by Dutch Person as a PERSON PERPETRATOR, rather, it explains DUTCH AS A PLURAL.....so it could be involving other Race /Nation as a cause of this person's death in this context of Convers.)
>This person was trying to put forward his theory: DENIAL TOWARDS A STATEMENT MADE EARLIER, REGARDING A DEATH CAUSED by DUTCH .... which happens not to be the case)
>So.. to me it is not a complete sentence but it explains something else
>Another sample: an INDIAN CHIEF in PERU in 1640 tidak mati oleh ENGLISH , but mati oleh Spanish...
(.........an Indian Chief in Peru in 1640 didn't die because of Englishmen but died because of Spanish....)
(MAKE SENSE?)
>Does it help? or more complicates situation?
>Well I'm confused myself to be honest... have a nice "CENDOL"

Edwin, those proverbs that you present are not too popular among indonesians. But those of bangwin and mas bagusdewe are wellknown. Here are some commonly used proverbs that you might like to know:
1. bagaikan membuang garam ke laut (it means doing something useless)
2. tak kan lari gunung dikejar (it means whatever is destined for you, whether in terms of lucks, love, etc. you will get it somehow)
3. buruk muka cermin dibelah (it means blaming someone else for your own mistakes)
4. asam di gunung, garam di laut bertemu dalam kuali (well, it is used to describe a couple who come from two places faraway, eg. wife from asia, hubby from europe)
5. nila setitik rusak susu sebelanga (meaning :one small mistake ruins the whole thing)
udah aaah, nyambut gawe bae, banyak kerjaan neeeh aaargh!

>PATAH ARANG (There is no turning back)(this might be closer to : TIDAK MATI.......)
