Questions & Answers about Mandor memeriksa fondasi.

What does mandor mean here?

Mandor usually means foreman, site supervisor, or work supervisor, especially in construction or manual labor settings. In this sentence, it refers to the person in charge who is checking the work.

Why is the verb memeriksa and not just periksa?

Memeriksa is the usual active verb form meaning to inspect or to examine.

It comes from the base periksa (inspect / examine) plus the prefix meN-, which often forms active verbs in Indonesian.

So:

• periksa = inspect / examination-related base
• memeriksa = to inspect, to examine

In a normal sentence with a subject doing the action, memeriksa sounds more natural than bare periksa.

How does the prefix meN- work in memeriksa?
