Word Order in Indonesian Sentences[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]
Indonesian is a subject-verb-object (SVO) language, which means that the basic word order in a sentence is subject-verb-object. This means that the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object. In this lesson, you will learn more about this basic word order in Indonesian sentences.
Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) Word Order[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]
The subject-verb-object (SVO) word order is the most common word order in Indonesian sentences. In this word order, the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object. Here is an example:
Indonesian | Pronunciation | Finnish |
---|---|---|
Saya | [sa.ja] | Minä |
makan | [ma.kan] | syön |
nasi | [na.si] | riisiä |
This sentence translates to "I eat rice" in English.
Other examples of sentences with SVO word order are:
- Dia menonton film di bioskop. (He watches a movie at the cinema.)
- Mereka membaca buku di perpustakaan. (They read books at the library.)
Inversion Word Order[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]
In Indonesian, you can also use inversion word order, which is when the verb comes before the subject. This is often used to emphasize the verb or to create a question. Here is an example:
Indonesian | Pronunciation | Finnish |
---|---|---|
Makan | [ma.kan] | Syön |
saya | [sa.ja] | minä |
nasi | [na.si] | riisiä |
This sentence translates to "Do I eat rice?" in English.
Other examples of sentences with inversion word order are:
- Menonton film di bioskop, dia. (He watches a movie at the cinema.)
- Membaca buku di perpustakaan, mereka. (They read books at the library.)
Other Word Orders[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]
While the SVO word order is the most common in Indonesian, there are other word orders that can be used for emphasis or to convey a specific meaning. Here are some examples:
- Object-Subject-Verb (OSV): This word order is used for emphasis on the object. Example: Buku itu, saya baca. (That book, I read.)
- Verb-Subject-Object (VSO): This word order is used for emphasis on the verb. Example: Menari, dia suka. (Dancing, he likes.)
