The meaning of "Rice Padi" or "Rice Paddy" explained...

Bali, Ubud ~ Rice Paddies from my room at Nick's Pension
In Malay/Indonesian...the word "padi" means "rice in the field" or "unhulled rice" in storage...
When the rice is cooked its called "nasi"....
So the phrase "rice padi" ...or "rice paddy"...real says "rice rice" to Indonesians and Malays...!
