Questions & Answers about Jangan bagikan kata sandi Anda kepada siapa pun.

What does the word bolded as Jangan mean, and how is it different from tidak and bukan?

• Jangan is the negative imperative: it tells someone not to do something (Don’t ...). Example idea: Jangan makan di sini (Don’t eat here).
• Tidak negates verbs/adjectives in statements: Saya tidak mau (I don’t want to).
• Bukan negates nouns/pronouns: Itu bukan masalah (That is not the problem). So in a prohibition, you must use Jangan, not tidak or bukan.

Why is it bagikan and not membagikan after Jangan?

In imperatives, Indonesian typically drops the meN- prefix:

• base form imperative: Bagikan! (Share!)
• meN- form for statements: Dia membagikan dokumen itu (He/She shared/distributed the documents). For negative imperatives, the pattern is Jangan + base form: Jangan bagikan .... Using Jangan membagikan ... is possible but sounds heavier and is less common on signs or instructions.
