Keep

What's with "keep"? Haha... it's basically random, actually. I was looking for a word start with K in the dictionary then I found in English-Indonesian dictionary, 'keep' has nine different meaning. Wow... it's kinda cool. So, what are those?

1. Menjaga
2. Memelihara (children)
3. Membuat catatan (book, records)
4. Menyimpan
5. Menerima
6. Menunjukkan
7. Turut
8. Menahan
9. terus (-keeping)

Sayang sekali tidak ada contoh kalimat untuk masing-masing definisi di aplikasi kamus tersebut. Huhuhuw.... Kupikir, aku bakal menemukan contoh kalimat sejenis itu di kamus Inggris-Inggris Longman. Dan ternyata.... hahahaa... ada 26 definisi "keep" dalam kamus Inggris. Aku mo ketawa dulu deh sebelum salut.
