ABSTRACT Lamak Kato-Lego Bunyi is a sentence found in Pasambahan, which in Indonesian means literally as beautiful word-clash of sound but the contextual meaning of this sentence is “the beauty of an agreement resulted from various opinions/inputs discussed previously”. The discussion refers to a democratic discussion, meaning everyone present has equal right to speak up his/her mind regardless what her/his age is. In this case, it carries the same idea with a Pasambahan.Pasambahan plays an important role in building Minangkabau people’s characters, a discussion room that has ethical, aesthetic, and educational values and teaches Minangkabau people how to convey polite/courteous words toward others. In the theory of conflict, discussion room has three elements or concepts in comprehending dialectics and several stages in completing the discussion.
