habis

Habis is a common word in Indonesian and Malay with several related meanings centered on the idea of being finished, depleted, or exhausted. As an adjective or adverb, it typically means that something has been consumed completely or is no longer available. Examples: Stok susu sudah habis. Makanan itu habis. The phrase can also describe a person’s state of energy: Saya sudah habis tenaga. In broader use, habis can indicate that a situation has ended or that something is over, as in film itu sudah habis or pertandingan itu habis.

The intensifier habis-habisan expresses doing something with maximum effort: dia melawan habis-habisan; mereka bekerja habis-habisan.

In retail and everyday commerce, habis often appears with terjual or stok to mean sold out: barang itu habis terjual; stok sudah habis.

In Malay, usage mirrors Indonesian and is understood across both languages: examples include habis dibaca (read completely) and habis stok (stock exhausted).

The term belongs to a broader family related to exhaustion and depletion, including kehabisan (to run out of). While widely understood, habis is more common in spoken language and informal writing; formal registers may prefer synonyms or the full phrase kehabisan.
