It depends on the context -
"delicate" could mean "fine or intricate", similar to "halus" (washing machines usually have a "delicate" setting
It could also mean "fragile or easily broken", I think similar to "rapuh"?
We also use "delicate" to describe relationships, particularly in diplomacy and situations where care is being taken not to upset one side or damage the relationship. Possibly similar to "rumit"?
