Here in Indonesia, mobile phones are almost universally known as handphones. Some of the most difficult words are ones which mean almost the same as they do in English but not quite. Industri, for example, means an industry as we would know it, but also a manufacturing company. A konglomerat is someone who owns lots of companies. Sosialisasi (socialisation)is the process of making the public aware of new laws. There are other examples which I'll post as and when I think of them.
