Questions & Answers about Dia lupa membayar tagihan internet.
Does dia mean "he" or "she"? How do I specify gender?
Dia is gender-neutral “he/she.” To specify, add a noun or context: Dia (laki-laki/pria) lupa..., Dia (perempuan/wanita) lupa..., or use the person’s name. Use respectful beliau for an older/respected person.
Can I use ia instead of dia here?
Yes: Ia lupa membayar tagihan internet. Ia is more formal/literary and mainly used as a subject; dia is the everyday form and can be subject or object.
Where is the past tense? How do I show it happened before?
Indonesian doesn’t mark tense. Add time words or context: Dia kemarin/tadi/barusan lupa membayar tagihan internet.
Do I need untuk after lupa?
No. Both lupa membayar and lupa untuk membayar are correct. The version without untuk is more common and a bit smoother; untuk can sound slightly more formal.
