"nanti" means: No; not any.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous.

"nanti" means: No; not any.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Polari for 'good night' — a warm farewell from the secret argot once used by gay men, circus performers, and theatrical types in Britain, particularly from the 19th century through the 1960s. 'Bona' means good (from Italian/Romani) and 'nochy' comes from Spanish 'noche' (night). Polari provided coded cover when being gay was illegal in Britain; saying bona nochy to someone in the know was both a greeting and an act of quiet solidarity. The language enjoyed a revival through the BBC radio comedy Round the Horne.
(Polari) Well.
(Polari, imperative) Remain silent; be quiet.
