Q & A

What is the primary purpose of the period (tanda titik) in Indonesian grammar?

The period is used to mark the end of a declarative sentence. It is also used after numbers or letters in tables, to separate time units (e.g., hours and minutes), and in bibliographic references.

How is the comma (tanda koma) used in Indonesian writing?

The comma is used to separate elements in a list, to separate interjections or expressions of emotion, to separate a dependent clause from an independent clause, and in direct quotations. It is also used before and after names or addresses in certain contexts.

What is the function of the semicolon (tanda titik koma) in Indonesian?

The semicolon is used to separate closely related independent clauses in a compound sentence and to separate items in a complex list where commas are already used within the items.

When should the colon (tanda titik dua) be used in Indonesian writing?

The colon is used to introduce a list or an explanation following a complete sentence, to indicate relationships between parts of a sentence, and after the names of characters in drama scripts. It is also used to separate titles from subtitles and in bibliographic references.

What is the difference between the hyphen (tanda hubung) and the dash (tanda pisah) in Indonesian?

The hyphen is used to divide words across lines, to form compound words, and to join repeated words. The dash, on the other hand, is used to insert explanatory information or to separate elements in a sentence for emphasis, often replacing commas.

How is the question mark (tanda tanya) used in Indonesian grammar?

The question mark is used at the end of direct questions to indicate that the sentence is a query (e.g., 'Who created the song Indonesia Raya?').

What role does the exclamation mark (tanda seru) play in Indonesian?

The exclamation mark is used to indicate strong emotions, commands, or exclamations. It is often used at the end of sentences expressing surprise, joy, or urgency (e.g., 'Congratulations!').

What is the purpose of using ellipses (tanda elipsis) in Indonesian writing?

Ellipses are used to indicate omitted material in a quotation, or to show that a speaker's thought or dialogue is trailing off or incomplete.

When should double quotation marks (tanda petik dua) be used in Indonesian?

Double quotation marks are used to enclose direct quotations, titles of works (e.g., books, articles, songs), and to highlight specific terms or concepts. They can also be used for unfamiliar or special terminology.

How are foreign words adapted into the Indonesian language, and what are the methods of adaptation?

Foreign words are adapted into Indonesian through phonetic changes (e.g., 'frekuensi' from 'frequency'), direct adoption without modification (e.g., 'bank'), and translation to avoid confusion (e.g., 'mouse' translated as 'alat penunjuk'). These processes help integrate foreign terms into the local linguistic structure.
