How to Say Get Well Soon

You can say this phrase to say [get well soon] in bahasa Indonesia.

Semoga lekas sembuh.

This phrase is formal, so you can use it in a formal situation. And below is how you pronounce it.

Informally, you can say this phrase.

Cepat sembuh ya.

Or,

Cepet sembuh ya.

[Cepat] and [cepet] are the same, but you'll hear in daily conversation we usually pronounce it as,

Cepet.

Rather than,

Cepat.

[Cepat] is more formal than cepet. [Cepat sembuh ya] is short for [semoga cepat sembuh ya]. We often shorten things out in our daily conversation in Indonesia, and what we're gonna watch from a scene that I took from an Indonesian movie called Cek Toko Sebelah is the shortened version.

[Ya] here is a filler word. Its function is just to emphasize.

The woman in that scene says this phrase.

Cepet sembuh ya, om.

Om means uncle. The man who was in bed is his boyfriend's father. Om here doesn't mean that that man is her uncle, but we usually use [om] to address the older person politely.

The second example is taken from Shafeea Hanum's YouTube channel. Let's watch the video below.

Hanum is the name of the kid in the video. Her mother came to her room and said these in that video.

Halo sayang. Assalamu'alaikum. Masih sakit, sayang? Coba. Batuk, pilek. Iya? Cepet sembuh ya. Ini ada hadiah buat Hanum. Cepet sembuh ya. (Hi, honey. Assalamu'alaikum. Still not feeling well? Let's see. Cough, runny nose, isn't it? Get well soon, honey. I've got presents for you, Hanum. Get well soon.)

Vocabulary From the Clip

[Sayang] = honey, darling.

[Masih] = still.

[Sakit] = sick.

[Coba] means try, but in this context, [coba] means that the mother wants to know the condition of her daughter, that's why after she says [coba], she feels her forehead.

[Batuk] = cough.

[Pilek] = runny nose.
