Questions & Answers about Target proyek tidak berubah.
In Target proyek, what exactly is proyek doing? Is this like “the project’s target”?
Yes. Indonesian often expresses “of” by putting the modifying noun after the head noun. So target proyek literally means “target (of the) project,” i.e., “the project’s target.” The head is target; proyek is the modifier.
Can I reverse it and say proyek target?
No. Proyek target would be interpreted as “a project that is a target (of something)” or just sound odd. To express “the project’s target,” the natural order is target proyek.
Is proyek or projek correct?
In standard Indonesian, use proyek. Projek is the common spelling in Malay and sometimes seen informally in Indonesia, but for standard/formal Indonesian stick with proyek.
Can I say target dari proyek instead of target proyek?
You can, and people do, but target proyek is more concise and usually preferred. Target dari proyek is acceptable when the modifier is long/complex or you need extra clarity:
- target proyek pembangunan infrastruktur
- target dari proyek pembangunan infrastruktur (also fine, just wordier)
Why is it tidak berubah and not bukan berubah?
