Questions & Answers about Diskon berlaku pada anggota perpustakaan.

What does the verb bolded as berlaku mean here, and how is it used?

It means be valid/apply (not behave). Common patterns:

• berlaku untuk/bagi/pada + noun phrase = applies to/valid for
• berlaku di + place = valid in/at
• berlaku sampai/hingga + time = valid until

Example: Diskon berlaku untuk anggota perpustakaan.

Why use pada instead of untuk or bagi?

All three are acceptable with berlaku:

• untuk: most common and neutral (great default).
• bagi: a bit formal, often in official notices.
• pada: also formal/literate; very common with dates/times, but fine with people here. So you could say Diskon berlaku untuk/bagi/pada anggota perpustakaan.

Can I say berlaku di anggota perpustakaan or berlaku kepada anggota?

No.

• di is for locations, not people: use it with places (e.g., berlaku di semua cabang).
• kepada is for directing actions toward people (give/tell/send), not for validity. Stick to untuk/bagi/pada.
