Questions & Answers about Dia menyelesaikan tugas itu dengan mudah.
Why do we use menyelesaikan instead of selesai here?
Selesai is an adjective or an intransitive verb meaning "finished" or "complete," while menyelesaikan is a transitive verb meaning "to finish something" or "to complete something." In this sentence, menyelesaikan indicates actively finishing a task.
How does dengan mudah function in this sentence?
Dengan is a preposition meaning "with," and mudah means "easy." Combined as dengan mudah, it describes the manner in which the action was completed—"with ease."
Why is tugas itu placed after menyelesaikan?
In Indonesian, the object typically follows the verb. So, menyelesaikan tugas itu follows the pattern of "verb + object." Here, the object is tugas itu (that task).
What does Dia refer to?
Dia can mean "he," "she," or even "they" in a singular, gender-neutral sense. Indonesian does not mark gender in the same way English does, so Dia can refer to any singular third person.
