Questions & Answers about Publikasi mengumumkan harga pembukaan lelang.
Publikasi usually means publication, publishing, or public release/publication.
In this sentence, it is being used as the subject, so it most naturally means something like the publication or the public release/announcement.
A learner should know that this word can sound a bit abstract in Indonesian, depending on context. In some situations, a more concrete subject like panitia (the committee) or pengumuman (the announcement) might sound more natural.
The base is umum, which is related to the idea of public/general.
From that base, Indonesian builds:
- umum = public, general
- umumkan = announce
- mengumumkan = to announce / announces
Here, meN- is the active-verb prefix, and -kan helps form a transitive verb, meaning a verb that takes an object.
So:
- mengumumkan harga = to announce a price
This is very common in Indonesian: a root gets prefixes and suffixes added directly to make a full verb.
