Questions & Answers about Agenda rapat sudah disimpan di lemari.
What does sudah indicate in this sentence?
sudah is a perfect‐aspect marker. It shows that the action of storing the agenda has been completed. In English you’d say “already” or use the present perfect (“has been stored”).
Why is the verb disimpan passive instead of active?
Indonesian often uses passive to focus on the object (the agenda) rather than the doer. Here, we care about where the agenda ended up, not who stored it. Passive is formed by the prefix di- on the verb.
What exactly does the prefix di- do in disimpan?
di- marks a verb as passive. disimpan literally means “is/was stored.” If you remove di- you get the active form simpan (“to store”), and with the active verbal prefix meny- you get menyimpan (“to store [something]”).
Could I turn this into an active‐voice sentence?
Yes. You simply pick an agent and use menyimpan. For example:
Saya sudah menyimpan agenda rapat di lemari.
(“I have stored the meeting agenda in the cupboard.”)
Why is the location phrase di lemari at the end? Can it move?
