ヒントとコツ (3)

💡

Look for the pattern

Whenever you see a word starting with 'pe-' and ending in '-an', it's almost always a noun. This is a great way to guess the meaning of new words.

Begin by adding ke-an to simple adjectives you already know.

よくある間違い

You used the wrong prefix. 'Perjalanan' is the noun form, 'kejalan' is not a valid word.

Wrong: Saya suka kejalan.
正解: Saya suka perjalanan.

You need to nominalize the adjective 'baik' to describe the possession of that quality.

Wrong: Dia memiliki baik hati.
正解: Dia memiliki kebaikan hati.

Penulisan refers to the act of writing, whereas 'tulisan' refers to the written work itself.

Wrong: Penulisan itu sangat baik.
正解: Tulisan itu sangat baik.
