The phrase "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" in English refers to the sound and cultural practice related to waking people up for the pre-dawn meal called "sahur" (or "suhoor") during Ramadan.
- "Tung Tung Tung" mimics the drumming or gong-like sound traditionally used in parts of Indonesia as a wake-up call for sahur, the meal Muslims eat before starting their fast at dawn
- "Sahur" itself means the pre-dawn meal before fasting begins in Ramadan
- The phrase is popularized by a viral meme featuring an animated wooden creature associated with this wake-up call, often humorously depicted in social media posts
In summary, "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" can be understood as "The drumbeat sound for sahur," symbolizing the call to wake up for the early morning meal during Ramadan fasting
