单词 tempo doeloe
释义

tempo doeloe

Dutch

Etymology

Borrowed from Malay or Indonesian tempo dulu (time of old, olden days).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˌtɛm.poː ˈdu.lu/

Proper noun

tempo doeloe m or n

  1. (Netherlands) The period of the Dutch East Indies, the period of Dutch colonisation in Indonesia, in particular as a nostalgic construct in personal, familial or social history; even more specifically, the time between 1870 and the beginning of the First World War around 1914.

Usage notes

  • The term is chiefly used by Indo Dutch people (both Europeans and Eurasians) with a sense of nostalgia in reference to a bygone, semi-mythologised era. It is also used for a period before one's own life time. It is not well known outside the Indo Dutch demographic.
  • Its use for the late nineteenth and early twentieth century is informed by a certain 'pioneer' romanticism, because this was a period of early modernisation before large-scale industrialisation, also a time when Dutch settlement increased but was still too small to form a wholly closed caste isolated from the native population.
