The word 'gelay' went viral after Nissa Sabyan was rumored to be the mistress of Ayus Sabyan, who is her fellow group member. The word 'gelay' was found in one of Nissa's videos from the past. In the video, she said,
"Assalamualaikum, are you waiting for me?" Then, someone bumped into her. Nissa immediately showed a spoiled expression and said, "don't want it, don't like gelay."
After it became popular on social media, the meaning of gelay according to Nissa Sabyan was finally revealed. In a program called KOPI VIRAL, which invited Ardi and Tebe, former members of the Sabyan gambus group, as guests, they revealed the actual meaning of gelay.

After knowing the meaning of 'gelay' in the two versions above, now you also need to know its usage in a sentence. Once again, 'gelay' does not originate from the Indonesian language. In fact, this word is not found in the KBBI.

When discussing connotations, positive or negative can be attached to the word. It all depends on the context of the sentence and the situation that occurs when you pronounce it. Perhaps, the negative connotation is attached to the word 'gelay' in Nissa Sabyan's video.
If you look at the situation, at that time Nissa was being plagued by unpleasant gossip, especially since she spoke in a coy tone. Although it is not related to her current case, netizens may judge that Nissa does have a 'cute' attitude that is then associated with a seductive nature.
This popular word 'gelay' can be used in various situations, for example:
- 'Stay away, gelay!' (Could mean dislike).
- 'Stop behaving like that, it's making me gelay, you know!' (Gelay can mean tickled).
- 'Your style is really weird, I don't like it, gelay!' (Similar to what Nissa used, gelay in this sentence means dislike).
Well, KLovers, that is the meaning of 'gelay' which has two versions, namely the netizens' version and Nissa Sabyan's version. After going viral thanks to a video that emerged when Nissa Sabyan was overwhelmed by news of her closeness to Ayus, the word 'gelay' is increasingly being used.
