Expresi

Expresi is a term used to denote the act or result of expressing something. In Indonesian usage, ekspresi is the common spelling for expression, while expresi may appear as a variant in casual writing or branding. The concept derives from Latin expressio and the related word expression, and it is used across languages to describe conveying meaning through signs, symbols, or form.

In linguistics and everyday language, ekspresi refers to signs or cues that convey content, including spoken language, gestures, facial expressions, and stylistic choices in communication. Phrases such as ekspresi wajah (facial expression) or ekspresi diri (self-expression) illustrate how expression functions in social interaction, emotion, and identity.

In mathematics and computing, ekspresi denotes a construct that can be evaluated to produce a value. A mathematical ekspresi combines constants, variables, and operators, as in 2x + 3 or sin(pi/4). In programming, an expression is a syntactic unit that yields a value when evaluated, encompassing arithmetic, logical, and function-call forms, and it differs from statements which perform actions without yielding a value.

In arts and culture, ekspresi emphasizes personal or collective expression through visual art, music, theater, or design. It refers to the inclusion of style, emotion, and meaning in creative work, shaping how audiences perceive and interpret the work.
