However, "mind sports" like chess still fall under olahraga because they are also considered sports, fitting the "sport" sense of the term. ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “olahraga”, in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language] (in Indonesian), Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016 == Malay == === Etymology === Compound of olah +‎ raga, calque from Japanese 体操(たいそう) (taisō, “gymnastics, exercises, calisthenics”, literally “body exercise”). === Pronunciation === (schwa-variety) IPA(key): [o.lah.ra.ɡə] Rhymes: -ɡə, -ə (Baku) IPA(key): [o.lah.ra.ɡa] Rhymes: -ɡa, -a Hyphenation: o‧lah‧ra‧ga === Noun === olahraga (Jawi spelling اولهراݢ, uncountable) (sports) A group of sporting activities including track and field, road running, cross country and racewalking; athletics. ==== Usage notes ==== The word is part of false friends between Standard Malay and Indonesian due to shared etymology.
