Questions & Answers about Panitia menyimpan tiket masuk tambahan kalau-kalau banyak tamu datang.

What does panitia mean here? Is it singular or plural?

Panitia means the committee, the organizers, or the organizing team.

It is a collective noun, so even though it refers to a group of people, Indonesian often treats it as a single unit in sentences like this. That is why panitia menyimpan... is natural.

Depending on context, you could translate it as:

• the committee
• the event organizers
• the organizing committee

Why is it menyimpan, and not just simpan?

Menyimpan is the active verb form built from the root simpan (to keep, to store).

The prefix here is meN-, which often marks an active verb. When meN- is added to a root beginning with s, the s usually disappears:

• simpan → menyimpan

So menyimpan means to keep/store in an active, standard written style.

By contrast:

• simpan by itself can appear in commands or less formal contexts
• menyimpan is the normal dictionary-style active verb in a full sentence
