Dia memborong semua bingkai.

In Indonesian, dia is a third-person singular pronoun that does not show gender. So it can mean he or she, depending on context.

A few notes:

• Dia = he / she
• Ia = also he / she, but usually more common in writing or more formal styles
• To make gender explicit, Indonesian usually adds a noun:
  • dia laki-laki = he, male
  • dia perempuan = she, female

So in Dia memborong semua bingkai, you can only know he or she from context.

Memborong comes from the root borong and usually means something like:

• to buy up
• to purchase in bulk
• to buy all of something at once

So this verb often gives the idea that someone did not just buy one item, but took a large amount or the entire stock.

In this sentence, memborong semua bingkai suggests that the person bought all the frames, likely in one go.

The base word is borong, but Indonesian often adds the prefix meN- to form an active verb.

So:

• borong = the root idea, related to bulk buying / buying up
• memborong = to buy up, to buy in bulk, to snap up all of

This is very common in Indonesian:

• baca → membaca = to read
• beli → membeli = to buy
• borong → memborong = to buy up / buy in bulk

Because borong begins with b, the meN- prefix becomes mem-, giving memborong.

The prefix meN- changes shape depending on the first sound of the root. This is a very common Indonesian pattern.

With roots beginning with b, the prefix usually becomes mem-:

• baca → membaca
• bawa → membawa
• borong → memborong

So memborong is just the normal active-verb form built from borong.

In this sentence, it marks dia as the doer of the action: Dia memborong... = He/She bought up...

In Indonesian, semua often comes before a noun to mean all:

• semua bingkai = all the frames
• semua buku = all the books
• semua orang = everyone / all the people

So semua bingkai is the natural order here.

You may also see bingkai-bingkai itu semua or other patterns in different contexts, but semua + noun is the basic and very common structure.

It can be either frame or frames in isolation, because Indonesian nouns usually do not change form for plural the way English nouns do.

Here, semua makes it clearly plural:

• bingkai = frame / frames
• semua bingkai = all the frames

So the plural meaning comes from semua, not from changing the noun itself.

Indonesian can show plurality in different ways, and it often does not need reduplication when another word already makes the meaning plural.

Since semua already means all, saying semua bingkai is enough.

Compare:

• bingkai = frame / frames
• bingkai-bingkai = frames
• semua bingkai = all the frames

Using both semua and reduplication is usually unnecessary in a simple sentence like this.

Bingkai usually means frame, especially a physical frame such as:

• a picture frame
• a photo frame
• sometimes a decorative or structural frame

The exact type depends on context. Without more context, bingkai most naturally suggests frames as objects for pictures, photos, artwork, and similar items.

Yes. Indonesian does not use articles like English the, a, or an.

So a sentence can be complete without them:

• Dia membeli buku. = He/She bought a book / the book / books
• Dia memborong semua bingkai. = He/She bought up all the frames

English needs articles much more often, but Indonesian usually leaves that information to context.

Yes, but it depends on what follows.

• semua orang = everyone / all people
• semua bingkai = all the frames

So semua itself means all, and the noun after it tells you what kind of all is meant.

Yes. Both can be translated as buying all the frames, but memborong has a stronger nuance.

• membeli semua bingkai = bought all the frames
• memborong semua bingkai = bought up all the frames / bought all the frames in bulk / snapped up all the frames

So memborong sounds more like taking everything available, often in one purchase or in large quantity. It is more vivid than plain membeli.

Sometimes Indonesian does omit subjects when the context is very clear, especially in conversation. But in a standalone sentence, dia is normally included.

So:

• Dia memborong semua bingkai. = natural complete sentence
• Memborong semua bingkai. = possible only if the subject is already understood from context, but by itself it sounds incomplete

For learners, it is safest to include dia unless the context clearly allows omission.
