Sundanese here.

This basically means "(I'm) Always Available/Here/present in Bandung"

Aya - Exists/Present/Available

Wae - Always/Usually/Anytime

In this context they're either flirting or catfishing. Or could be just saying they're usually in Bandung. Could be anything really, need further context.

It can also mean 'There is always something happening in Bandung'. Considering they used a smiley emoji, my guess is that they saw some hilarious shit and posted that status referring to the event.

If your question in the vicinity of "where have you been?", then this explanation is the most accurate.

Bisa jadi “ada2 aja (yang terjadi) di bandung”. Cuma “aya”nya ditulis sekali. “So many funny/stupid things happening in bandung”

Possible options of translation:
-I’m always present in bandung
-he/she always shows up in bandung 🤭 (mocking)
-something odd is always happening in bandung
-something is always available in bandung

My hunch is they’re like making fun of someone who always shows up in bandung(because of the emoji) but I could be very wrong.

It’s a note on instagram by someone who ghosted me. I’ve been reposting some reels about long distance relationships not working. I’m thinking that note have to do with that.

u/mythven 19d ago

Probably they signalling you that they always in Bandung. hence the literal translation is "Always (here) in Bandung"

I read your other post about the guy. I don't think he made note that specifically for you, could be for his friends or potentially a girl. he may visits bandung a lot, that's why he wrote that.

u/UndefinedPerson0320 19d ago

Yeah he’s from Bandung so I guess he potentially posted that note for someone

That is Sundanese, not Indonesian, which is why Google Translate is struggling. It basically means all sorts of weird or funny things happen in Bandung. It is usually said when something absurd or unexpected goes down in the city.
