Rekap

Rekap is an Indonesian term that functions as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to a summary, digest, or condensed presentation of information, data, or results. As a verb, it means to summarize, to compile a recap, or to tally and register findings. The word is a shortened form of rekapit ulasi (rekapitulasi) and has become standard in various fields where concise presentation of information is important.

The term originated in Indonesian as a practical shorthand for the longer word rekapit ulasi (rekapitulasi), the process of recapitulation, tallying, or data aggregation. It is widely used in journalism, administration, accounting, sports, and politics. In everyday use, people say they will “rekap data” or publish a “rekap hasil,” indicating a compiled summary or score sheet. In elections and official reporting, rek apitulasi describes the formal counting and verification of votes, with rekapSometimes used informally to refer to the resulting totals.

Related terms include rekapit ulasi (the formal process of tallying or summarizing) and ringkasan or rangkuman, which denote shorter forms or summaries of longer texts. Rekap is valued for its brevity and clarity in communicating key results without presenting full datasets. It remains a common linguistic tool in Indonesian media, business briefings, and public discourse.
