When we want to say something is in, at, or on a location, we use the word di. Think of it like a general location indicator.
For example, if you want to say 'I am at home', you would say Saya di rumah. If something is 'on the table', you would say di meja. It's a very common and useful preposition to know.
When di is added to the beginning of a word, it can change the meaning of the word. Generally, di indicates that the noun or pronoun is the object of the verb. It can indicate a location, such as di rumah (at home), or a time, like di malam hari (at night).
For example, diambil means "taken" and dimakan means "eaten."
Another common usage of di is to indicate that something is located at a particular place, like di Jakarta (in Jakarta).
When di is followed by a word indicating a place, it means 'in', 'at', or 'on'. For example, 'di rumah' means 'at home' or 'in the house'. 'Di kantor' means 'at the office' or 'in the office'.
It's important to differentiate di (as a preposition) from di- (as a prefix). When di is a preposition, it is written separately from the following word, like 'di pasar' (at the market). When di- is a prefix, it is attached to the verb, like 'dimakan' (eaten). The prefix di- indicates a passive voice.
When di is used as a preposition, it means 'in', 'at', or 'on', indicating location or position. For example, 'di rumah' means 'at home' or 'in the house'. It's always followed by a noun or a place. Think of it as a spatial indicator.
It's important not to confuse this prepositional 'di' with the prefix 'di-' which creates passive verbs. For instance, 'dimakan' means 'eaten' (passive voice), while 'di meja' means 'on the table' (prepositional). The key difference is that the preposition 'di' is followed by a location, and the prefix 'di-' is attached to a verb root.
You'll often see 'di' in Indonesian, and it's a very common preposition.
It generally means 'in', 'at', or 'on' when referring to a place. For example, 'di rumah' means 'at home' or 'in the house'.
You can also use 'di' to indicate a general location, like 'di Jakarta' meaning 'in Jakarta'.
Just remember, it's always followed by a noun indicating a place.

- Use 'di' for 'in', 'at', or 'on'.
- Always precedes a noun or noun phrase.
- Essential for expressing location.
§ What "di" means
- DEFINITION
- The word "di" in Indonesian is a preposition. It translates to "in," "at," or "on" in English. It shows where something is located.
The word "di" is super common. You'll hear and see it all the time when people talk about where things are. It’s one of the first words you should learn because it’s so useful.
§ "Di" in daily conversations
Let's look at how "di" is used in everyday sentences. You'll hear it for places like your home, work, or school.
Saya kerja di kantor.
This means, "I work at the office." Here, "di" tells you the location of work.
Anak-anak sekolah di sini.
This translates to, "The children go to school here." "Di sini" means "at here" or "here."
§ Where you hear "di" – work, school, news
You will encounter "di" in many contexts. Let's look at how it appears in different situations.
- At Work: When people talk about their job or where a meeting is.
Rapatnya di ruang rapat utama.
Meaning: "The meeting is in the main meeting room."
Berkasnya ada di meja saya.
Meaning: "The file is on my desk."
- At School: When talking about classrooms, libraries, or school activities.
Murid-murid belajar di perpustakaan.
Meaning: "The students study in the library."
Ujiannya akan dilaksanakan di aula.
Meaning: "The exam will be held in the hall."
- In the News: News reports often use "di" to indicate where events happened.
Kecelakaan terjadi di jalan tol.
Meaning: "An accident happened on the highway."
Para korban ditemukan di reruntuhan.
Meaning: "The victims were found in the rubble."
As you can see, "di" is essential for understanding where things are in Indonesian. Keep practicing with these examples, and you'll get the hang of it quickly.
§ 'di' vs. 'd-i' (prefix)
This is probably the most common mistake for learners. 'di' as a preposition (meaning 'in,' 'at,' or 'on') is always written separately from the word that follows it. For example, 'di rumah' (at home), 'di Jakarta' (in Jakarta), 'di meja' (on the table). It tells you the location of something.
Saya makan di restoran. (I eat at the restaurant.)
However, 'di-' can also be a prefix for verbs, forming passive sentences. When 'di-' is a prefix, it is always attached directly to the verb. For example, 'dimakan' (eaten), 'ditulis' (written), 'dilihat' (seen). In this case, 'di-' doesn't mean 'in, at, or on'; it indicates that the action is being done to the subject.
Nasi itu dimakan oleh kucing. (That rice was eaten by the cat.)
§ Using 'di' with time
In Indonesian, 'di' is typically used for locations, not for time. English speakers sometimes try to translate 'at 5 o'clock' as 'di jam lima,' but this is incorrect. For time expressions, you usually just state the time or use words like 'pada' (at/on/in, for time) or 'jam' (hour/o'clock).
Kami bertemu jam tujuh. (We meet at seven o'clock.)
Not: Di jam tujuh.
Pesta itu pada hari Sabtu. (The party is on Saturday.)
Not: Di hari Sabtu.
§ Overusing 'di' with verbs of motion
While 'di' indicates location, it doesn't usually go with verbs that already imply movement to a place, like 'pergi ke' (go to) or 'datang ke' (come to). You wouldn't say 'pergi di pasar' (go at the market), but rather 'pergi ke pasar' (go to the market).
- Correct
Dia pergi ke sekolah. (He goes to school.)
- Incorrect
Dia pergi di sekolah.
'di' describes where something *is*, not where it *is going* (unless it's already there).
§ Confusing 'di' with 'pada'
While both can mean 'on' or 'at,' 'di' is almost exclusively for physical locations. 'Pada' has a broader use and can sometimes be used for more abstract locations, time, or for indicating a recipient in certain contexts (though 'kepada' is more common for recipients).
- 'di' for physical location
Buku itu ada di meja. (The book is on the table.)
- 'pada' for abstract/time
Saya percaya pada dia. (I believe in him.)
§ Not using 'di' when it's needed
Sometimes learners omit 'di' entirely when it's necessary to indicate location. In English, you might say 'The book is table,' which is clearly wrong. Similarly, in Indonesian, you need 'di' to connect a noun with its location.
- Correct
Saya tinggal di Solo. (I live in Solo.)
- Incorrect
Saya tinggal Solo.
Always make sure your sentence has a proper way to express location. Usually, that means 'di' + location.
- **Practice makes perfect**: The best way to overcome these mistakes is to practice.
- **Read Indonesian texts**: Pay attention to how native speakers use 'di'.
- **Listen to Indonesian conversations**: Notice when and where 'di' is used.
- **Write sentences**: Try to construct your own sentences using 'di' in different contexts.

The 'di' prefix can also be used to form passive verbs in Indonesian, like 'dimakan' (eaten).

'di' can mean 'in', 'at', or 'on'. Learners often get confused about which English preposition to use when translating 'di'.
The meaning of 'di' is determined by the context of the sentence. It generally indicates a location.
Saya tinggal **di** Jakarta. (I live **in** Jakarta.) Dia menunggu **di** pintu. (He is waiting **at** the door.) Buku itu ada **di** meja. (The book is **on** the table.)
사용법
The word di is a very common preposition in Indonesian, meaning 'in', 'at', or 'on'. It's used to indicate location. You'll hear it all the time! For example, di Jakarta means 'in Jakarta', di sekolah means 'at school', and di meja means 'on the table'.
A common mistake for English speakers is confusing di with ke. Remember, di tells you where something is, while ke tells you where something is going. Another mistake is using di with verbs as a prefix. While 'di-' is a common prefix for passive verbs, it's not the same word as the preposition di. The preposition di is always written as a separate word.
팁
Basic use of 'di'
'Di' is a preposition used to indicate location. Think of it as 'in,' 'at,' or 'on' in English.
Common phrases with 'di'
You'll often hear 'di sini' (here), 'di sana' (there), and 'di mana?' (where?). These are great starting points.
Not for verbs of motion
'Di' is for static location. If something is moving to a place, you'd use 'ke.' For example, 'pergi ke pasar' (go to the market).
Don't confuse 'di' with 'di-' prefix
Indonesian has a 'di-' prefix that makes verbs passive (e.g., 'makan' (eat) becomes 'dimakan' (eaten)). This is different from the preposition 'di'.
Examples with places
Try saying 'Saya di rumah' (I am at home) or 'Buku itu di meja' (The book is on the table).
Examples with general areas
You can also use 'di' for broader areas, like 'di Jakarta' (in Jakarta) or 'di kantor' (at the office).
Asking where things are
Use 'di mana?' to ask about location. 'Kunci saya di mana?' (Where are my keys?)
Placement of 'di'
'Di' always comes before the noun or pronoun indicating location.
Practice with objects around you
Look around and describe where things are using 'di.' 'Pena saya di tas' (My pen is in the bag).
Beyond physical location
Sometimes 'di' can indicate a more abstract 'location' or context, like 'di dalam hati' (in the heart / deep down).

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문'Di' indicates a static location (where something is), while 'ke' indicates direction or movement towards a place (where something is going).
Examples:
- Saya di rumah. (I am at home.)
- Saya pergi ke rumah. (I go to home.)
You generally don't use 'di' with specific times like 'at 3 PM'. Instead, you use 'pada' for specific times or just state the time directly. 'Di' can be used for more general periods, like 'di malam hari' (at night).
Examples:
- Rapatnya pada jam tiga sore. (The meeting is at three in the afternoon.)
- Saya belajar di malam hari. (I study at night.)
No, you don't use 'di' directly with people in the sense of 'at John'. For people, you would typically use phrases like 'bersama' (with) or reformulate the sentence.
Example:
- Saya belajar bersama guru. (I study with the teacher.)
Usually, yes. 'Di' is a preposition of place, so it almost always precedes a noun or phrase indicating a location. It can also precede verbs to form a passive voice, but that's a different grammatical function.
Examples:
- Buku itu di atas meja. (The book is on the table.)
- Makanan itu dimakan. (The food is eaten.)
You combine 'di' with other words that indicate spatial relationships. For example, 'di depan' (in front of), 'di belakang' (behind), 'di samping' (beside), 'di atas' (on top of), 'di bawah' (under).
Examples:
- Mobilnya di depan rumah. (The car is in front of the house.)
- Kucing itu di bawah kursi. (The cat is under the chair.)
Both can mean 'in'. However, 'di' is a general preposition for location, while 'dalam' specifically means 'inside' or 'within', implying enclosure. Think of 'di' as 'at/on' and 'dalam' as 'inside'.
Examples:
- Kunci itu di tas. (The key is in/on the bag - could be anywhere on it or inside.)
- Kunci itu di dalam tas. (The key is inside the bag.)
Yes, 'di' can be used with some abstract concepts to indicate a state or context. For example, 'di hati' (in the heart), 'di pikiran' (in the mind).
Examples:
- Dia selalu di hati saya. (He is always in my heart.)
- Itu ada di pikiran saya. (That is in my mind.)
When 'di' is attached to a verb (e.g., 'dimakan', 'ditulis'), it indicates a passive voice, meaning the action is done to the subject. When 'di' is separate, it's a preposition indicating location.
Examples:
- Buku itu di meja. (The book is on the table.)
- Buku itu ditulis oleh dia. (The book was written by him.)
Generally, yes, when you want to specify a location where something is. It's a fundamental part of expressing location in Indonesian. There are some idiomatic expressions where it might be omitted, but as a beginner, it's safer to include it.
Example:
- Kami bertemu di Jakarta. (We met in Jakarta.)
Yes, 'di' covers the functions of 'in', 'at', and 'on' when referring to location. The specific English translation often depends on the context and the type of location.
Examples:
- Dia di sekolah. (She is at school.)
- Bunga itu di dinding. (The flower is on the wall.)
- Pena itu di kotak. (The pen is in the box.)

Pilihlah kalimat yang paling tepat menggunakan kata 'di' untuk menunjukkan lokasi yang tidak spesifik:
Pilihan ini menggunakan 'di sekitar' yang menunjukkan lokasi yang tidak spesifik atau area umum, berbeda dengan lokasi pasti seperti 'kantor pusat' atau 'persimpangan jalan'.
Manakah dari kalimat berikut yang menggunakan 'di' secara kiasan, bukan sebagai penunjuk lokasi fisik?
Frasa 'di tangan' dalam konteks ini berarti 'dalam kendali' atau 'ditentukan oleh', yang merupakan penggunaan kiasan, bukan lokasi fisik.
Dalam konteks formal, penggunaan 'di' pada awal kalimat untuk penekanan lokasi sering dijumpai. Manakah yang paling mencerminkan gaya tersebut?
Kalimat ini menempatkan 'Di balik tirai itu' di awal untuk memberikan penekanan pada lokasi, yang umum dalam gaya formal atau sastra.
Kata 'di' selalu diikuti oleh spasi ketika menunjukkan tempat, tetapi tidak ketika menjadi awalan kata kerja pasif.
Ini adalah aturan tata bahasa yang penting: 'di' sebagai preposisi (menunjukkan tempat) selalu dipisah dengan spasi (contoh: di rumah), sedangkan 'di-' sebagai awalan pembentuk kata kerja pasif disambung (contoh: ditulis).
Dalam konteks 'di' sebagai penunjuk waktu, penggunaannya lebih luas dan fleksibel dibandingkan dengan 'pada'.
Justru sebaliknya. 'Pada' lebih sering digunakan untuk penunjuk waktu yang spesifik atau periode, sedangkan 'di' hampir secara eksklusif digunakan untuk tempat. Misalnya, 'pada hari Senin' bukan 'di hari Senin'.
Frasa 'di mana' selalu mengacu pada tempat dan tidak dapat digunakan dalam konteks yang lebih abstrak atau kiasan.
Meskipun 'di mana' sering merujuk pada tempat, ia juga dapat digunakan dalam konteks abstrak, misalnya, 'situasi di mana keputusan sulit harus diambil' atau 'titik di mana kita perlu berinovasi'.
Focus on the preposition 'di' and its role in indicating location or context.
Listen for 'di' and understand its function in specifying the setting of the debate.

Summary
Understanding 'di' is crucial for forming basic sentences about location in Indonesian.
- Use 'di' for 'in', 'at', or 'on'.
- Always precedes a noun or noun phrase.
- Essential for expressing location.
Basic use of 'di'
'Di' is a preposition used to indicate location. Think of it as 'in,' 'at,' or 'on' in English.
Common phrases with 'di'
You'll often hear 'di sini' (here), 'di sana' (there), and 'di mana?' (where?). These are great starting points.
Not for verbs of motion
'Di' is for static location. If something is moving to a place, you'd use 'ke.' For example, 'pergi ke pasar' (go to the market).
Don't confuse 'di' with 'di-' prefix
Indonesian has a 'di-' prefix that makes verbs passive (e.g., 'makan' (eat) becomes 'dimakan' (eaten)). This is different from the preposition 'di'.
