نکات و ترفندها (4)

🎯

The Adjective Shortcut

If you're not sure whether to add '-kan', check if the base is an adjective. If it is, 99% of the time you don't need '-kan'.

🎯

The Adjective Rule

When using diper- with an adjective, stop there! Don't add -kan. 'Diperbesar' is perfect; 'diperbesarkan' is overkill.

💡

Check Transitivity

Always check if the verb is transitive before adding -kan.

The Favor Rule

Whenever you ask someone to do something for you, add '-kan' to the verb. It sounds much more polite and natural.
