The term “gemes” captures a feeling of irresistible affection, often used when something or someone is so cute or adorable that it triggers an emotional response, like the urge to hug.
The suffix “-in” in Indonesian can serve a few purposes, such as turning a noun into a verb (to indicate an action directed towards the noun), or making an adjective to imply a causative form. When added to “gemes,” creating “gemesin,” it transforms the expression of an emotion (“gemes”) into an adjective that describes something that evokes this specific feeling strongly. This structure is often used colloquially to add emphasis or convey a playful tone.
the suffix ** ”-lah” ** in “hanyalah” is used to emphasize the word it is attached to. In this case, it is attached to “hanya,” which means “only” or “just.”
