An Indonesian sentence pattern

An Indonesian sentence pattern

Bahasa Indonesia has pattern to arrange a sentence. It is just like English. The language learner has to follow to the pattern to facilitate them how to arrange a sentence. In bahasa Indonesia there is S + P + O + K, we use it to make good sentence.

S + P + O + K

S = subyek or subject

Saya	I
Kamu	You
Dia	He /she
Mereka	They
Kita	We
Kalian	you

Dia can be either male or female.

kamu and kalian = you

P = predikat or predicate

bahasa indonesia has verb but it does not have to be. We can fill predicate with kata kerja /verb

mengambil         take

memakan           eat

menyuruh           ask

membawa           bring

menaruh             put

mengajak           invite

O = obyek  or object

We must  consider the kata kerja / verb before  choosing the obyek /object.

We use kata benda / noun to make obyek /object

Pisau                             knife

Buah-buahan               vegetable

Siswa                            student

Makanan                       food

Pakaian                        dress

Kawan-kawan             friends

K = keterangan or adverb

Using kata keterangan / adverb to tell where, when, how etc.

Tadi pagi                                this morning

Besok siang                          tomorrow afternoon

Nanti malam                          this evening

Di jalan raya                          on the highway

Di dalam ruangan                 in the room

Didepan kantor                     infront of the office

So, using S + P + O + K we can make the following sentences...

1.   Saya mengambil pisau tadi pagi

2.   Kamu makan sayuran besok siang

3.   Dia menyuruh siswa nanti malam

4.   Mereka membawa makanan didalam ruangan

5.   Kita mengajak teman-teman didepan kantor
