Ramadan is a special month for all Muslims around the world. We fast during this month, meaning we don’t eat and drink from sun up to sundown. In celebrating this holy month, I specially made this lesson for Indonesian English learners.
1. Break the fast (verb) = berbuka puasa
2. Fast-breaking (noun) = buka puasa
3. Iftar (noun) = buka puasa
4. Pre-dawn meal (noun) = sahur
5. Eid Festival (noun) = perayaan Lebaran
6. Eid Mubarak = Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri
7. Hometown (noun) = kampung halaman
8. Homecoming (noun) = pulang kampung/mudik
9. Homecoming trip (noun) = perjalanan mudik
10. Iftar gathering (noun) = buka puasa bersama
11. Killing the time before maghrib = ngabuburit
12. Forgive me for all the mistakes I have made against you = mohon maaf lahir dan batin
13. Religious holiday allowance = THR

Learn English with Demi 
My local society has a special word called “KALLA” . If someone doesn’t fast for one or two days, means he/she has one or two “KALLA”. Is there any a specific word to say the word in English?

Just use the origin word in your native language. Oftentimes English uses a foreign word because it doesn’t have the equivalent for that word in English.
