2 | orang lain yang penting |

orang lain yang penting Explanation: significant = 'bermakna; penting' (KIMD p. 1488) other = 'yang lain' (KIMD p. 1083) This sentence was found in the internet: In psychology, a significant other is any person who has great importance to an individual's life or well-being. In sociology, it describes any person or persons with a strong influence on an individual's self-evaluation, which are important to this individual, as well as reception of particular social norms. This usage is synonymous with the term "relevant other" and can also be found in plural form - "significant others". |

pasangan Explanation: This is not to be translated literally (i.e someone important). In common English, a reference to one's 'significant other' almost always is a reference to someone you are in a relationship with. |
