Review Summary

  • Predicate + Subject

자주 하는 실수

Inversion works best with full predicates including aspect markers like 'sedang' or 'telah'.

Wrong: Makan nasi Ali.
정답: Sedang makan nasi Ali.

Often, an intensifier is needed to make the inverted predicate sound natural.

Wrong: Besar rumah itu.
정답: Sangat besar rumah itu.

Simple adjective inversion can sound informal; adding 'amat' or 'sangat' elevates it.

Wrong: Cantik dia.
정답: Amat cantik dia.
