The Indonesian word is a powerful adverb used to indicate that an action or state has occurred at least once in the past. It is roughly equivalent to the English words "ever" or "once."

To confirm having visited a place or seen a sight.

In daily conversation, "pernah" is often used to build rapport. Asking someone "Pernah nggak sih?" (Have you ever...?) is a common way to find shared experiences or "relatable" moments in social settings.
