Questions & Answers about Dalam survei kelas, kami menulis pendapat dan keterangan singkat.
What does bold Dalam mean here? How is it different from bold di or bold pada?
bold Dalam means “in/within” in a contextual sense. In bold Dalam survei kelas, it sets the scene “in the class survey.”
- bold di = at/in (physical location). bold Di kelas = in the classroom (physically).
- bold di dalam = inside (explicitly inside something). Often used for literal space or in formal writing: bold Di dalam penelitian ini….
- bold pada = at/on/in (more formal/neutral, often for time, recipients, topics). You may see bold Pada survei ini in formal prose, but bold Dalam survei ini is more idiomatic.
What exactly does bold survei kelas mean? Is it “class survey” or “survey class”?
It’s “class survey” (a survey of/for the class). In Indonesian noun–noun compounds, the first noun is the head: bold survei (head) + bold kelas (modifier). It does not mean “survey class” (a course). For a “survey course,” you’d say something like bold mata kuliah pengantar.
Why is bold kami used instead of bold kita?
- bold kami = we (excluding the listener).
- bold kita = we (including the listener). The sentence assumes the listener wasn’t part of the class, so bold kami fits. If the listener was part of the class, use bold kita.
Could I say bold mengisi survei instead of bold menulis?
Yes, depending on the focus.
- bold mengisi survei = to fill out a survey (complete the form).
- bold menulis = to write (focus on producing text). Your sentence highlights writing opinions/notes, so bold menulis is natural.
