pengganggu

Pengganggu is a Malay word that translates to "disturber" or "nuisance" in English. It refers to an individual or entity that causes disruption, annoyance, or harm, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The term can encompass a wide range of situations and behaviors.

In a social context, a pengganggu might be someone who repeatedly interrupts conversations, makes excessive noise, or behaves in a manner that inconveniences others. This could range from minor irritations to more significant disturbances that negatively impact the peace and well-being of a community. In some instances, the term can also be used to describe someone who interferes with the affairs or progress of another person or group.

Beyond personal interactions, "pengganggu" can also be applied to abstract concepts or situations. For example, a technological glitch that disrupts a service could be considered a pengganggu. Similarly, unforeseen obstacles or problems that hinder a plan or project might be labeled as such. The core idea is always something that disrupts a state of order, peace, or smooth operation. The specific connotation of the word can vary depending on the context, but it generally carries a negative implication of unwelcome interference.
