29 - Prefix pe- transforms many words into doer words.

I'm sorry that it has been a while since my last video. I was busy expanding the capacity of my new business and fixing an existing one, and planning the next one. But thank you for asking for this video. I learnt to use adobe premier because of this video. Hopefully my next video will have slightly better quality.

Thank you very much, I do appreciate your efforts, Keep this great job. I suggest you make telegram or whatsapp group for daily practice for BIPBA.

[@thomasnittel4561]

Thank you very much for this video. I like your clear explanations, especially the table how to change pe- depending on the first character of the word. Can you please make a similar video about prefix "ke-", e.g. kesalahan?

[@learnbahasaindonesia3361]

Sure. Thank you for the suggestion.

Where does 'm' come from in pe+batik? Why do they have 'pecinta' and 'pencinta'?

[@learnbahasaindonesia3361]

It is a variation in pronunciation, simply for ease of pronunciation. Saying 'pembatik' is easier (more smoothly) than saying 'pebatik'. Pecinta and pencinta means the same. Usually, when the the first syllable of the word ends with 'n' sound such as cin-ta, jan-tan, jan-ji, some people find it easier to not use the 'n' in between such as pecinta, penjantan, pejanji. But because Indonesian language is built by addition and some ethnic group finds it easier to use 'n' in between, then it is correct too. the 'n' in between does NOT have any meaning. It simply helps to make pronunciation smoother.

Oh, no. Lover is 'pencinta' not 'pecinta'. 'Pecinta' and 'pencinta' are different. Please check your KBBI 😊

@@rin1939 pecinta is someone who loves. I do not mean sexual lover.

Hi madam, I saw one of your video and you said that if a word ends by letter s and c, so we have to use prefix meny-. Like: meny + cuci = menyuci. But the word menyuci doesn't exist in Indonesia vocabulary. What do you think?

[@xanderesy973]

"Menyuci" does exist in Indonesian language, but it came from "suci" instead of "cuci" which mean pure or clean.

[@kokgagal9263]

Me+Cuci = Mencuci.

guru if the prefix PE is equivalent to ER in english.. what is the equivalent of ME?

[@learnbahasaindonesia3361]

It can mean (1) 'to' as in 'to color' and (2) affix 'en' as in 'enlarge' or 'blacken'. Basically anything that turns any word into verb

[@maikonlanguagelearner5171]

Hi. How are you? Is it possible to communicate effectively with Indonesians only using the formal language learned in most books? Would it sound weird? Is it too hard to understand the informal language spoken on the street?

[@learnbahasaindonesia3361]

Hi. Yes, it is possible to communicate using formal language learnt from books. The formal language is what I use when I speak with other Indonesians from different etnicities or areas. Every ethnic groups/locals have their own versions of daily expressions. I know only that of Jakartan, and my version of Jakartan expressions which I use among my family/friends is different from that of my neighbours. My neighbors will talk to me using their version of Jakartan Indonesian and I will respond to them using my version of Jakartan Indonesian. If you are in Jakarta, you will pick up the daily expressions easily, but I don't think I know which expressions to teach you because our environments/streets may be different.

Hi, I’m actually learning Indonesian in class. I wanted to know how to say the term “allowed”? I need to know for a test coming up.

[@learnbahasaindonesia3361]

Hi Diva. I'm sorry that I couldn't respond to your inquiry in timely manner. However, I will still answer your question and I hope it is useful for you: "allow+ed" is a passive verb and it is di+izin+kan in Indonesian language. I hope you did well in your test.

@@learnbahasaindonesia3361 about prefix and suffix in bahasa Indonesia, if a word starts with a specific letter, So we have to put a specific prefix on the word. Like: If a word starts with letter "P", so we have to use prefix M-. Is that correct?

@@thewarrior630 this is correct for some prefixes such as pe- and me-, but doesn't apply for other prefixes such as ber- and di-.
