Questions & Answers about Masalah jadwal membuat kami menunda acara.
What does the phrase Masalah jadwal literally mean?
It literally means schedule problem or scheduling problem(s). Indonesian doesn’t mark plural by default, so it can mean one problem or multiple. Alternatives:
- masalah penjadwalan (scheduling issues; more formal/technical)
- bentrok jadwal / jadwal bentrok (schedule conflict/clash)
How is the sentence structured grammatically?
- Subject: Masalah jadwal (the cause)
- Verb: membuat (made/caused)
- Object: kami (us)
- Complement: menunda (to postpone) + object acara (the event)
So it’s a causative structure: “X made Y do Z” → Masalah jadwal membuat kami menunda acara.
Could I replace membuat with other verbs like menyebabkan or mengakibatkan?
Yes:
- menyebabkan: neutral/formal “caused” → Masalah jadwal menyebabkan kami menunda acara.
- mengakibatkan: often used for negative outcomes, a bit heavier → … mengakibatkan penundaan acara.
- membuat is very common and natural in everyday speech.
Can I rephrase it using “because”?
