Questions & Answers about Pengumuman sekolah keluar pagi ini.

In the phrase pengumuman sekolah, is sekolah the subject “school,” or is it modifying pengumuman? Does it mean “school announcement” or “announcement from the school”?

Sekolah modifies pengumuman. So pengumuman sekolah means “school announcement” (i.e., an announcement from the school). To be explicit, you can say pengumuman dari sekolah (“announcement from the school”). For “announcement about the school,” use pengumuman tentang sekolah.

Is pengumuman singular or plural here?

Indonesian doesn’t mark number. Context decides. To force singular, use sebuah pengumuman. To show plural, use beberapa/sejumlah/berbagai pengumuman or reduplication pengumuman-pengumuman.

Why is there no “the” or “a”? How do I say “the school announcement” vs “a school announcement”?

Indonesian has no articles. Use:

• Definite: pengumuman sekolah itu or pengumumannya.
• Indefinite: sebuah pengumuman sekolah (often just omit sebuah if context is clear).

What does keluar mean here? How can an announcement “go out”?

• diterbitkan (was published)
• muncul (appeared)
