💡

Don't overthink it

Indonesian prepositions are invariant. Don't look for gender or plural rules!

💡

The 'DKD' Rule

Remember Di-Ke-Dari. It covers almost all your spatial needs.

💡

The 'Ke' Rule

Always treat 'ke' as a mandatory bridge. If you don't see 'ke', you are likely missing a destination marker.

💡

Space matters

Always write 'di', 'ke', and 'dari' as separate words. Never attach them to the noun.

Asking for Directions

Review Summary

  • [Object] + ada + [Preposition] + [Place]
  • [Subject] + [Verb] + [Direction] + [Place]
  • [Subject] + [Verb]
  • Use common nouns like rumah, kantor, sekolah

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You cannot use 'di' (at) with 'pergi' (go) because 'di' implies a static position, not a destination.

Wrong: Saya pergi di pasar.
सही: Saya pergi ke pasar.

Do not use 'ke' for static locations. The office is not moving toward the school; it is situated there.

Wrong: Kantor ada ke depan sekolah.
सही: Kantor ada di depan sekolah.

If you are coming, you are coming FROM a place, not to a place (unless using a different verb).

Wrong: Saya datang ke rumah.
सही: Saya datang dari rumah.
