Questions & Answers about Siapa pun boleh bertanya setelah presentasi selesai.

What does the particle pun do in siapa pun?

It turns the question word siapa (who) into an indefinite form meaning whoever/anyone. So siapa pun = anyone, whoever. Outside this construction, pun can also mean even (as in saya pun datang = I even came), but here it makes an open, non-specific reference.

Why is siapa pun written as two words? I’ve seen siapapun online.

Standard spelling (PUEBI) writes pun as a separate particle in combinations like siapa pun, apa pun, kapan pun, di mana pun. Some forms do fuse (e.g., walaupun, meskipun, sekalipun, bagaimanapun, ataupun, adapun), but not siapa pun. You’ll see siapapun informally, but it’s nonstandard.

Is siapa pun the same as siapa saja?

Yes, in most contexts both mean anyone/whoever. Nuance: siapa pun can feel a touch more formal or written; siapa saja is very common in speech. Your sentence works with either: Siapa pun/Siapa saja boleh bertanya…

Does boleh mean may or can? How is it different from bisa or dapat?
