VERBS

Some verbs can be used with no prefixes or suffixes: pergi, tidur, pulang, duduk, dengar, mandi

Generally these are INTRANSITIVE verbs – they don’t involve an AGENT doing something to an OBJECT.

Other intransitive verbs use ber-: berjalan, bertanya, bekerja, belajar, berbelanja, berbicara

Again, something is happening, but it’s not happening to an object because of an agent doing something to it.

Often, ber- can be added to nouns, meaning to “have” the noun: bernama, beragama, bermata biru

INTRANSITIVE verbs, and also adjectives, can often add -kan or -i to make them TRANSITIVE ( = verbs that use meN- and di-); -kan***= CAUSE the root to happen to the object; -i =do the root AT/ON the object:

Bu Henry mendekatkan kursi ke meja. = Mrs. Henry puts the chair close to the table.

Bu Henry mendekati kursi. = Mrs. Henry approaches the chair.

TRANSITIVE verbs, where an AGENT does something to an OBJECT, use meN- if the sentence is agent-focus (“active”):

Bu Sri membeli pisang.

agent object

and use di- (at least for 3rd person) if the sentence is object-focus (“passive”):

Pisang dibeli (oleh) Bu Sri.

object “by” agent

***TRANSITIVE verbs can also add -kan, meaning "do for the benefit of" the object:

Bruce menutup pintu untuk Bu Henry = Bruce menutupkan Bu Henry pintu = Bruce closes the door for Bu H.

**The prefix ter- can be used with verbs to talk about a state that results from something having happened to an object:

Kantor pos terbuka pada Hari Sabtu sampai jam duabelas.

“The post office is open on Saturday until twelve o’clock.”

*ke- -an can also be used to show states or conditions:

Kita kehabisan kopi. = We have run out of coffee.

Saya kehausan. = I’m suffering from thirst.
