English term or phrase: tab
Sepasang pemuda sedang makan di restoran, yang juga milik sahabat mereka..

Si cewek bilang: Aku suka tempat ini..

Lalu si cowok bilang: Yeah. I practically have a tab here.

Apa ya artinya "tab' di sini? Dialog selanjutnya, si cewek bertaya apakah si cowok sering memasak...

Terima kasih...

Indonesian translation:Catatan hutang
Explanation:
Tab: a record of what you have ordered or used but not yet paid for, especially in a bar or restaurant.

To run a tab at a restaurant is to allow the bill to rise until time for payment.

Jadi "I practically have a tab" kemungkinan besar maksudnya dia sudah jadi pelanggan tetap di restoran tsb sampai dia memiliki catatan hutang tersendiri di sana.

Meski begitu, saya mungkin tidak akan menerjemahkannya sebagai catatan hutang dalam kalimat tersebut. Mungkin cukup "saya memang pelanggan tetap di sini"

narkoba


Explanation:
Maksudnya drugs.

Memasak dalam dialog selanjutnya sepertinya adalah cook the drug.

agree  ErichEko ⟹⭐: Boleh dibilang aku punya akun tagihan di sini. Utang kesannya negatif. Mendengar si cowok dipandang bona fide (=boleh bayar secara akumulasi), si cewek pindah ke topik masak-memasak.

boleh ngutang


Explanation:
Berdasarkan penjelasan dalam rujukan di bawah ini, saya menyimpulkan:

tab = fasilitas utang yg diberikan pemilik bar atau restoran kepada pelanggan setianya. Dg adanya tab ini (ada tab mingguan atau tab bulanan), si pelanggan bisa makan/minum sepuasnya, dan utang totalnya baru dilunasi setelah terima gaji.

Jadi, dapat disimpulkan dalam terjemahan bebasnya:

have a tab = boleh ngutang

I practically have a tab here = Sebenarnya, saya boleh ngutang di sini.

Ref.:
Rather, it’s the old form of barroom credit, the weekly and monthly tab—an instrument by which regulars could drink free until the next paycheck, whereupon the bill would be settled.
