أخطاء شائعة

Nominalization is best used in passive, objective constructions to sound academic. Using 'melakukan' makes it sound too conversational.

Wrong: Dia melakukan pembangunan cepat.
صحيح: Pembangunan dilakukan dengan cepat.

Avoid tautology (repeating meanings). Use your nominalized terms to describe effects or actions, not to describe themselves.

Wrong: Modernisasi itu sangat modern.
صحيح: Modernisasi itu meningkatkan efisiensi.

Abstract nouns should be paired with strong predicates. 'Buruk' is too simple; use specific academic terminology.

Wrong: Ketergantungan pada gadget adalah buruk.
صحيح: Ketergantungan pada gadget memberikan dampak negatif.

أسئلة شائعة (6)

Ke-an is for states/qualities, pe-an is for processes/results.
It's a nasalization rule for flow.
Use it for international technical terms.
Because the root word is 'Standard'. Indonesian spelling rules for loanwords usually preserve the root's consonant structure from the source language (Dutch/English) before adding '-isasi'.
Technically yes, but it's usually reserved for formal or technical terms. Using it for daily activities like 'pramakan' (before eating) sounds very unnatural.
Indonesian is an agglutinative language. Affixes allow for precise meaning changes.
