Martabak yang legit bikin kami ketagihan.

Here, yang links martabak to a describing phrase: yang legit.

So martabak yang legit means something like:

• the martabak that is delicious/rich
• that delicious martabak

In Indonesian, yang often introduces a relative clause or a descriptive phrase after a noun.

Structure:

• martabak = martabak
• yang legit = which is rich/delicious

So the whole noun phrase is Martabak yang legit = the delicious martabak.

In Indonesian, adjectives commonly come after the noun they describe.

So:

• martabak legit = delicious/rich martabak

With yang, it becomes a bit more explicit:

• martabak yang legit = martabak that is delicious/rich

This is normal Indonesian word order. Unlike English, you usually do noun + adjective, not adjective + noun.

No. This is a very important false friend.

In Indonesian, legit usually means:

• rich-tasting
• sweet and dense
• indulgently delicious

It is often used for food, especially desserts or rich snacks.

It does not usually mean English legit = genuine, real, or lawful.

So in this sentence, legit is talking about the martabak’s taste, not whether it is authentic or legal.

Bikin means make or cause, and in this sentence it means makes or causes.

So:

• bikin kami ketagihan = makes us addicted / makes us crave it

Bikin is common in everyday spoken and informal written Indonesian.

A more formal equivalent would be:

• membuat kami ketagihan

So this sentence sounds natural and conversational.

Ketagihan means:

• addicted
• hooked
• unable to stop wanting something
• craving it again and again

In food contexts, it usually does not sound as serious as clinical addiction. It often just means:

• so tasty that we keep wanting more
• we can’t stop craving it

So bikin kami ketagihan is a very natural way to say that the food is so good that it makes the speakers keep wanting it.

Kami means we/us but excludes the listener.

Kita means we/us and includes the listener.

So:

• bikin kami ketagihan = makes us addicted, but not necessarily including the person being spoken to
• bikin kita ketagihan = makes all of us addicted, including the listener

This distinction is very important in Indonesian.

Yes, in a way.

Indonesian often does not use a verb like is in the same way English does.

So:

• Martabak yang legit is a noun phrase, literally something like martabak that is rich/delicious

Indonesian can leave out a verb equivalent to is when it is not needed. This is very normal.

Yes. The sentence can be divided like this:

• Martabak yang legit = the delicious/rich martabak
• bikin = makes
• kami = us
• ketagihan = addicted / hooked / craving more

So the structure is:

[Subject] + [Verb] + [Object/affected person] + [Result/complement]

More literally:

• The delicious martabak makes us hooked.

More natural English:

• That delicious martabak makes us crave more.
• The rich, tasty martabak has us hooked.

Yes, you often can.

• martabak legit = rich/delicious martabak
• martabak yang legit = martabak that is rich/delicious

Both are possible, but they feel slightly different.

Very generally:

• martabak legit is a more direct noun + adjective combination
• martabak yang legit sounds a bit more descriptive or highlighted

In many contexts, both would sound natural.

Yes. This is a very common pattern.

Indonesian often uses:

• bikin + person + adjective/state

Examples:

• Film itu bikin saya sedih.
  = That movie made me sad.
• Lagu ini bikin dia nostalgia.
  = This song makes him/her feel nostalgic.
• Makanan itu bikin mereka lapar lagi.
  = That food made them hungry again.

So:

• bikin kami ketagihan = makes us hooked/craving more

This is a useful everyday pattern to learn.

Yes, very natural.

It sounds like something someone might really say in conversation, especially when talking about food.

Why it sounds conversational:

• bikin is informal and common
• ketagihan is very idiomatic
• legit is a common food-description word

A more formal version might be:

• Martabak yang legit membuat kami ketagihan.

But the original sentence sounds lively and natural in everyday Indonesian.
