Review Summary

  • peN- + verb + -an
  • pe- + noun/verb + -an

자주 하는 실수

You used a process noun (development) where you needed a result noun (equipment).

Wrong: Saya suka pembangunan komputer itu.
정답: Saya suka peralatan komputer itu.

Management cannot be 'heavy' in a physical sense; you meant the equipment.

Wrong: Pengurusannya sangat berat.
정답: Peralatannya sangat berat.

While acceptable, using 'dalam proses' clarifies the usage of the nominalized form.

Wrong: Dia sedang membuat perbincangan.
정답: Dia sedang dalam proses perbincangan.
