Questions & Answers about Survei kelas ditulis singkat agar jelas.
What does the prefix in ditulis do?
di- marks the passive voice on the verb. The root is tulis (write), so ditulis means “is/was written.” Indonesian doesn’t mark tense here; time is inferred from context or added with words like sudah/telah (already) or akan (will).
Who is doing the writing in this sentence?
The agent is not mentioned. You can add it if needed:
- Survei kelas ditulis oleh guru.
- Survei kelas ditulis guru. (natural without oleh) With a pronoun, Indonesians often prefer the “bare passive”:
- Survei kelas itu saya tulis singkat agar jelas.
What exactly does survei kelas mean? Why no preposition?
It’s a noun–noun construction: “class survey” or “survey of the class.” Indonesian often uses a bare noun after another noun to show “of/about/for.” If you need to be explicit:
- About the class: survei tentang kelas
- For a class: survei untuk kelas itu
- By the class: survei oleh kelas itu
Can kelas mean the physical classroom here?
It could, but context usually points to “class” as a group/course. To be explicit about the room, use ruang kelas.
