Questions & Answers about Penawaran itu melebihi harga pembukaan.

Why is itu placed after penawaran?

In Indonesian, itu often comes after a noun to mean that or, very often in natural translation, the.

So:

• penawaran = offer / bid
• penawaran itu = that offer / the bid

This is normal Indonesian word order. Unlike English, where that comes before the noun, Indonesian usually puts itu after the noun.

Examples:

• rumah itu = that house / the house
• orang itu = that person

In this sentence, itu makes penawaran specific.

What does penawaran mean here, and is it the same as offer?

Penawaran comes from the root tawar, which is related to offering or bidding.

Depending on context, penawaran can mean:

• offer
• bid
• quotation
• sometimes proposal of a price

In this sentence, if the context is an auction or sale, penawaran is very likely bid. In a general business context, it could be offer.

So the exact English word depends on the situation, even though the Indonesian word stays the same.
