Questions & Answers about Saya berlangganan koran digital tiap bulan.

What does the verb form in berlangganan tell me?

The prefix ber- often makes an intransitive verb meaning “to have/do/be engaged in X.” So berlangganan means “to have a subscription / to subscribe.” The base langganan is a noun/adjective (“subscription,” “regular/favorite”). Related forms:

• berlangganan = to subscribe
• langganan = a subscription; also “regular/favorite”
• pelanggan = a subscriber/customer (the person)

Do I need a preposition after berlangganan (like “to” in English)?

No preposition. You say berlangganan + direct object:

• Correct: Saya berlangganan koran digital.
• Not natural: ✗ berlangganan ke/pada/dengan koran digital (avoid adding a preposition here).

Is tiap the same as setiap?

Yes, in meaning they both mean “every.” Setiap is a bit more formal or neutral; tiap is slightly shorter/more casual. Both are widely used:

• setiap bulan (neutral/formal)
• tiap bulan (neutral/casual)

Does tiap bulan mean I’m re-subscribing every month, or just that my plan is monthly?
