Questions & Answers about Efek khusus mendukung tata lampu.
Why is khusus placed after efek instead of before it?
In Indonesian, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.
So:
- efek khusus = special effects
- literally: effects special
This is a very common pattern:
- rumah besar = big house
- film bagus = good movie
- lampu terang = bright light
So efek khusus is the normal Indonesian word order.
What does mendukung mean, and why does it start with men-?
Mendukung means to support.
It comes from the root word dukung = support.
The prefix meN- forms an active verb, and in this case it becomes men- + dukung → mendukung.
So:
- dukung = support (root)
- mendukung = to support / supports
In this sentence, mendukung is the main verb.
