Sponsor mendukung undian amal.

Mendukung is the active verb form meaning to support.

It comes from the root dukung = support.
The prefix meN- turns many roots into active verbs, so:

• dukung = support
• mendukung = to support / supports

In a normal active sentence, Indonesian usually uses the prefixed form, so Sponsor mendukung undian amal is the natural way to say The sponsor supports the charity raffle or Sponsors support the charity raffle, depending on context.

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

So:

• sponsor can mean a sponsor, the sponsor, or sponsors
• undian amal can mean a charity raffle, the charity raffle, or charity raffles

The exact meaning depends on context.

If you need to be more specific, Indonesian uses other words, not articles, such as:

• seorang sponsor = a sponsor
• sponsor itu = the sponsor / that sponsor

By itself, sponsor is number-neutral. It can be understood as singular or plural depending on context.

So this sentence could mean:

• The sponsor supports the charity raffle
• A sponsor supports the charity raffle
• Sponsors support the charity raffle

If you want to make plural clearer, Indonesian can use:

• para sponsor = the sponsors
• sponsor-sponsor = sponsors

But in many everyday sentences, the bare noun is enough.

Undian refers to a drawing, raffle, or lottery-type selection by chance.

Amal means charity or charitable work.

Together, undian amal means something like:

• charity raffle
• charity drawing
• possibly charity lottery, depending on context

In most everyday contexts, charity raffle is a very natural translation.

In Indonesian, modifiers often come after the noun they describe.

So:

• undian = raffle / drawing
• amal = charity / charitable
• undian amal = charity raffle

This is normal Indonesian word order. English usually puts the modifier first, but Indonesian often puts it after.

Other similar patterns:

• rumah sakit = hospital
• baju sekolah = school uniform
• bantuan pemerintah = government aid

So undian amal is a common noun + modifier pattern.

It can function a bit like either one, depending on how you think about it.

Historically and semantically, amal is mainly a noun related to charity or good deeds, but in combinations like undian amal, it behaves like a modifier, so in English we often translate it adjectivally as charity or charitable.

So you can think of:

• amal = charity
• undian amal = charity raffle

This is very common in Indonesian: a noun can modify another noun without needing a separate adjective form.

Indonesian verbs do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

So mendukung can mean:

• support
• supports
• supported
• will support

The time is usually understood from context or from added time words.

For example:

• Sponsor mendukung undian amal. = The sponsor supports / supported the charity raffle.
• Sponsor sedang mendukung undian amal. = The sponsor is supporting the charity raffle.
• Sponsor sudah mendukung undian amal. = The sponsor has supported / already supported the charity raffle.
• Sponsor akan mendukung undian amal. = The sponsor will support the charity raffle.

Yes. This is standard subject–verb–object word order:

• Sponsor = subject
• mendukung = verb
• undian amal = object

So the sentence structure is very similar to English:

• Sponsor supports charity raffle

Indonesian often uses this straightforward order in active sentences.

Usually sponsor is treated as a noun in Indonesian, meaning sponsor.

If you want the verb to sponsor, Indonesian more naturally uses:

• mensponsori = to sponsor

So compare:

• Sponsor mendukung undian amal. = The sponsor supports the charity raffle.
• Perusahaan itu mensponsori undian amal. = That company sponsors the charity raffle.

In your sentence, sponsor is definitely the subject noun.

A natural passive version is:

• Undian amal didukung sponsor.
• Undian amal didukung oleh sponsor.

Here:

• didukung = is supported / was supported
• oleh = by

So:

• Undian amal didukung sponsor = The charity raffle is supported by a sponsor / by sponsors
• Undian amal didukung oleh sponsor = same meaning, with oleh making the by relationship more explicit

Both are possible, though the version without oleh is often perfectly natural.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• Sponsor → SPON-sor
• mendukung → men-doo-KOONG
• undian → oon-DEE-an
• amal → A-mal

A few helpful notes:

• u is usually pronounced like oo in food
• a is usually like a in father
• ng is like the ng in sing
• Indonesian spelling is generally quite phonetic

So the whole sentence is roughly:

SPON-sor men-doo-KOONG oon-DEE-an A-mal

No, it is not capitalized because it is a proper noun. It is capitalized simply because it is the first word of the sentence.

If it appeared in the middle of a sentence, it would normally be lowercase:

• Perusahaan itu menjadi sponsor acara tersebut. = The company became the sponsor of that event.

So Sponsor here is just the regular noun sponsor at the start of the sentence.
