Questions & Answers about Tim menyetujui prioritas tugas setelah berdiskusi.

Does Tim mean a person named Tim or “the team” here?

In Indonesian, tim means “team.” Because words at the start of a sentence are capitalized, Tim can look like a person’s name, but here it almost certainly means “the team.” To disambiguate:

• If you mean the team: Tim itu/Tim tersebut menyetujui… or specify the team: Tim pemasaran menyetujui…
• If you mean a person named Tim: Pak Tim menyetujui… or use a full name, e.g., Timothy menyetujui…

What’s the difference between menyetujui and setuju?

• menyetujui = “to approve/agree to something” (transitive). It must take a direct object. Example: Tim menyetujui prioritas tugas.
• setuju = “to agree” (stative/intransitive). To mention what you agree with, add a preposition, usually dengan, atas, or terhadap. Example: Tim setuju dengan prioritas tugas. Nuance: menyetujui can sound a bit more formal/one-sided (giving approval), while setuju simply states being in agreement.

Why is it spelled menyetujui, not mensetujui?

It’s formed by prefix meN- + root setuju + suffix -i. With meN-, when the root starts with s, the prefix becomes meny- and the initial s of the root drops: meN- + setuju + -i → menyetujui. The form is nonstandard.
