Takeaways

• 😀 Loanwords, or 'kata serapan,' are foreign words that have been adopted and used in the Indonesian language.
• 😀 Indonesian has borrowed words from both foreign languages and local languages, such as Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese.
• 😀 Loanwords are classified into two groups: those that retain their original spelling and pronunciation, and those adapted to Indonesian orthography.
• 😀 There are four main ways foreign words are absorbed into Indonesian: adoption, adaptation, translation, and creative adaptation.
• 😀 Adoption involves taking the foreign word completely, both in form and meaning, without changes, e.g., 'supermarket' or 'film'.
• 😀 Adaptation modifies the spelling and pronunciation of foreign words to fit Indonesian rules, e.g., 'university' becomes 'universitas' and 'executive' becomes 'eksekutif'.
• 😀 Translation converts the concept of a foreign word into Indonesian, e.g., 'download' → 'unduh' and 'try out' → 'uji coba'.
• 😀 Creative adaptation takes only the basic concept from the foreign word and creates a new Indonesian term, e.g., 'spare parts' → 'suku cadang'.
• 😀 Specific orthographic rules apply when adapting foreign words: double consonants are reduced, DH/dz becomes D/Z, and letters like X, Y, and F are adjusted according to KBBI.
• 😀 Examples of common Indonesian words and their non-standard or foreign forms highlight correct spelling for exams like UTBK, e.g., 'memproklamasikan' is correct, while 'memproklamirkan' is not.
