Pekliti

Pekliti is a term with origins in the Indonesian language, often used colloquially to describe a feeling of extreme heat or being overheated. It is a descriptive word rather than a technical or scientific one, capturing the sensation of intense warmth, sometimes to the point of discomfort. The word can be applied to various situations, from the body's internal feeling of being hot, such as during fever or exertion, to external environmental conditions like a particularly scorching day.

The usage of pekliti is informal and commonly found in everyday conversation. It conveys a sense of overwhelming heat that can affect one's well-being. While there isn't a direct English translation that perfectly encapsulates the nuance of "pekliti," phrases like "sweltering," "scorching," or "burning hot" come close in conveying the intensity of the heat it describes. The word is primarily used in Indonesian-speaking regions and reflects a cultural expression of experiencing high temperatures. It can also extend to describe a situation that has become uncomfortably intense or heated, metaphorically.
