Questions & Answers about Ruang perpustakaan terasa sejuk karena AC baru.
What does ruang perpustakaan mean, and why not just perpustakaan?
- Perpustakaan alone means “library” (the institution or building).
- Ruang perpustakaan literally means “library room” (a specific room inside the library).
- Use ruang perpustakaan when you want to specify the physical room rather than the library as an entity.
Why isn’t there an article like the or a before ruang?
- Indonesian does not have definite or indefinite articles equivalent to English the or a.
- Definiteness is often understood from context or added with words like ini (this) or itu (that).
- So ruang perpustakaan can mean “a/the library room” depending on context.
What function does terasa serve in this sentence?
- Terasa is a passive or stative form of rasa (“to feel”).
- In this context, terasa sejuk means “feels cool.”
- It emphasizes the sensation experienced by people in the room.
Could we use terlihat sejuk instead of terasa sejuk? What’s the difference?
