Questions & Answers about Dia menunjukkan cara mudah membuat kopi di rumah.

Does Dia mean “he” or “she”? How do I specify gender if needed?

Dia is gender-neutral and can mean either “he” or “she.” Context tells you which. To specify gender explicitly, you can say:

• dia laki-laki / pria (he, male)
• dia perempuan / wanita (she, female)

Notes:

• dia is common and works as subject or object.
• ia is a more formal subject pronoun in writing.
• beliau is an honorific “he/she” for respected people.

What’s the difference between menunjuk and menunjukkan?

• menunjuk = to point (with a finger, etc.). Example: Dia menunjuk peta. (He points at the map.)
• menunjukkan = to show (present, demonstrate something). It takes a direct object, often with a recipient:
  • Dia menunjukkan cara itu kepada saya. (He showed me the method.) Think “show” (transitive) vs “point.”

Why is menunjukkan spelled with double k? Is menunjukan wrong?

It’s formed from the base tunjuk + suffix -kan → tunjukkan. Because the base ends in k and the suffix begins with k, you get kk. So the correct form is menunjukkan (with double k).
menunjukan (single k) is a common misspelling.
