Review Summary

  • Noun + Adjective
  • Sangat + Adjective
  • Lebih + Adjective + Dari
  • Subject + Adjective

常见错误

In Indonesian, the adjective must follow the noun. Placing it before is common for English speakers.

Wrong: Merah apel
正确: Apel merah

Don't confuse intensity ('sangat') with comparison ('lebih'). Use 'lebih' for 'more'.

Wrong: Dia sangat tinggi dari saya
正确: Dia lebih tinggi dari saya

Modifiers like 'sangat' must come before the adjective to function correctly.

Wrong: Buku besar sangat
正确: Buku sangat besar
