Bulu mata saya basah karena gerimis, dan dagu saya juga terasa dingin.

Literally, bulu means hair/feather/fur, and mata means eye. So bulu mata literally means eye hair, which is the normal Indonesian expression for eyelashes.

A native English speaker might expect a single word, but Indonesian often uses noun phrases like this:

• bulu mata = eyelashes
• air mata = tears (literally eye water)

In Indonesian, possessive words like saya usually come after the noun.

So:

• bulu mata saya = my eyelashes
• dagu saya = my chin

This is the normal Indonesian pattern:

• rumah saya = my house
• nama saya = my name

So unlike English, Indonesian does not usually put my before the noun. Instead, it says something more like eyelashes of mine.

Yes, in some contexts you could leave it out if the meaning is already clear. But repeating it is very natural and helps avoid ambiguity.

So:

• Bulu mata saya basah karena gerimis, dan dagu saya juga terasa dingin.

sounds clear and balanced.

If you said:

• Bulu mata saya basah karena gerimis, dan dagu juga terasa dingin.

it can still be understood, but it sounds a little less explicit. Repeating saya keeps both body parts clearly linked to me.

Here, gerimis means drizzle or light rain.

In this sentence, it functions like a noun after karena:

• karena gerimis = because of the drizzle

Indonesian words can often be flexible. Depending on context, gerimis can refer to:

• drizzle as a thing/weather condition
• it is drizzling in certain sentence patterns

But in this sentence, the easiest way to understand it is as drizzle / light rain.

Because Indonesian often prefers a shorter, more compact structure when the meaning is obvious.

• karena gerimis = because of the drizzle / because it was drizzling
• karena ada gerimis = because there was drizzle

Both can make sense, but karena gerimis sounds more direct and natural here.

This is common in Indonesian: a short phrase can express a full idea without needing extra words like there is.

Indonesian usually does not need a copula like is/are in simple present statements.

So:

• Bulu mata saya basah literally looks like My eyelashes wet
• but it naturally means My eyelashes are wet

Likewise:

• Dia senang = He/she is happy
• Rumah itu besar = That house is big

This is one of the most important differences from English.

Juga means also / too / as well.

In:

• dan dagu saya juga terasa dingin

it means the chin is an additional thing being described:

• and my chin also feels cold

So first the speaker mentions wet eyelashes, then adds another sensation:

• eyelashes are wet
• the chin also feels cold

The position of juga is very natural here.

Terasa dingin means feels cold or can be felt as cold. It emphasizes sensation or perception.

Compare:

• dagu saya dingin = my chin is cold
• dagu saya terasa dingin = my chin feels cold

The version with terasa sounds a little more experiential, focusing on how the speaker perceives it.

So terasa adds nuance rather than changing the basic meaning completely.

This is a very useful question.

• dagu saya terasa dingin = my chin feels cold
• saya merasa dingin = I feel cold

The key difference:

• terasa is used for how something feels
• merasa is used for what a person feels

So:

• Dagu saya terasa dingin is correct.
• Dagu saya merasa dingin is not natural, because dagu is not the experiencer in the same way a person is.

Dagu most commonly means chin.

If you want jaw, Indonesian more often uses:

• rahang = jaw

So in this sentence, dagu saya juga terasa dingin clearly means:

• my chin also feels cold

Yes. Basah is the normal word for wet.

So:

• bulu mata saya basah = my eyelashes are wet

That is completely natural. Indonesian uses basah for things that are wet from water, rain, tears, and so on.

Examples:

• Baju saya basah. = My clothes are wet.
• Rambutnya basah. = His/her hair is wet.

Yes, absolutely. That is a very natural English rendering.

A very close translation is:

• My eyelashes are wet because of the drizzle, and my chin also feels cold.

A smoother English version is:

• My eyelashes are wet from the drizzle, and my chin feels cold too.

Both capture the Indonesian well. The second one simply sounds more natural in everyday English.

Usually, bulu mata refers to eyelashes in a general or collective sense.

Indonesian often does not mark singular/plural as clearly as English does unless needed. So:

• bulu mata saya usually means my eyelashes not just one eyelash

If someone wanted to be very specific about a single eyelash, they would usually make that clear from context or with extra wording.

Yes, very typical.

Breakdown:

• Bulu mata saya = subject/topic
• basah = predicate adjective
• karena gerimis = reason
• dan = and
• dagu saya = second subject/topic
• juga = also
• terasa dingin = feels cold

So the structure is very natural:

1. body part
2. description
3. cause
4. second body part
5. added description

It is a good example of how Indonesian can be concise while still sounding natural.
