As Lumendang et al, in an Analysis of Slang Geek Charming Movie (2020), said, "language is an instrument to interact with others. People have their own knowledge and perception about language". Some languages have the same basic order (SVO) and systematics tenses. Others do not have the change of tenses (such as Indonesia) or the order of sentence which is more different or complex (SOV, OVS, etc.)
