Meaning: "bentuk tidak baku" or non-standard spelling

Meaning: "bahasa gaul" or slang/informal broken language rejected by KBBI but frequently used especially on social media

Meaning: "shortened form from a single word" (e.g., "yang" --> "yg")

Meaning: "shortened form by compounding several words" or "acronym" (e.g., "SD" = "Sekolah Dasar", elementary school)

SC (acronym) and TB (non-standard spelling)

Meaning: "shortened form with multiple meanings" (e.g., "PB" = 1) "perserikatan bangsa-bangsa" (the United Nations), 2) "pajak bumi dan bangunan" (real estate tax), or 3) "peraturan baris-berbaris" (regulation on marching/parades))

LF (loan word) and TB (non-standard spelling) (e.g., "vodka" is LF and "wodka" is LFT)

Meaning: "unknown" because the word token is not in KBBI, SEAlang, and IndoDic (top three reliable dictionaries) but seems to be meaningful

Meaning: "garbage" such as typos, unique nouns and ones written in different writing scripts

W (work in progress)

Meaning: "probably garbage" because not listed on LCC but only OpenSubsitle (OS) frequency list

Not checked at all -- could be garbage or meaningful

Meaning: "Yes, Duolingo MT teaches you the exact word token" (e.g., "diduga" (believed; speculated) in a passive form from the root word "duga")

Meaning: "Yes, Duolingo MT teaches you the lemma" (e.g., "menduga" in an active form is not taught but the passive form is by Duolingo MT)

Meaning: "Duolingo MT teaches its related lemma under the same word family" (e.g., "penduga" as a gerund or noun verb of "menduga" is not taught but easily guessed from the root word or related words)

Meaning: "No, Duolingo does not teach you any of this word and its related words
