Usage Notes or Etymology
This term is formed from the combination of the words “ngabuburit” and “ride”. “Ngabuburit” originates from Sundanese, meaning to relax or spend time in the late afternoon while waiting for iftar. The addition of the English word “ride”, which means to drive or ride, indicates that the ngabuburit activity is carried out by riding a vehicle, especially among automotive communities or enthusiasts. This phenomenon is popular in Indonesia, particularly in big cities, as a form of social activity and entertainment during Ramadan.
