Id: Kafe ini terkenal dengan dekorasi unik yang memadukan elemen industri urban dengan tanaman hijau yang subur.
En: This cafe is famous for its unique decor that combines urban industrial elements with lush greenery.

Id: Ayo kita adakan lomba tertawa di sini."
En: Let's hold a laughter competition here."

Id: Budi, teman setianya, merasa sedikit was-was.
En: Budi, her loyal friend, felt a bit apprehensive.

Id: "Tapi Dewi, bagaimana kalau kita mengganggu orang lain?"

En: One businessperson, with a furrowed brow, stood up and said, "Could you keep it down a bit?

Id: Kami sedang rapat penting."
En: We are having an important meeting."

Id: Budi merasa malu dan ingin segera berhenti, tetapi Dewi tidak menyerah.
En: Budi felt embarrassed and wanted to stop immediately, but Dewi didn't give up.

Id: "Pak, maaf kalau mengganggu, tapi tertawa itu menyehatkan!
En: "Sir, sorry if we're disturbing you, but laughter is healthy!

Id: Mari kita coba tertawa sebentar, siapa tahu bapak dan teman-teman jadi lebih rileks."
