Questions & Answers about Panitia menempel jadwal pelatihan di papan pengumuman.
What does the subject Panitia refer to? Is it singular or plural?
Panitia means an organizing committee (a group of people). It’s a collective noun with no explicit plural marking. In English you can translate it as the committee or the organizers, depending on context. Indonesian doesn’t use articles, so number and definiteness are inferred from context.
Is menempel the right verb for “posting” something on a board?
Yes. Menempel means “to stick/attach,” typically with tape or glue. For putting a paper or notice onto a board, Indonesians also commonly use:
- menempelkan (more explicitly “to stick [something] onto [somewhere]”)
- memasang (“to put up/install”), also fine for notices/posters.
What’s the difference between menempel, menempelkan, and menempeli?
- menempel: intransitive “to be stuck/adhere” or (informally) transitive “to stick.” Example: Kertas itu menempel di dinding (The paper is stuck to the wall).
- menempelkan: transitive, “to stick [X] onto [Y].” Example: Panitia menempelkan jadwal itu di/pada papan pengumuman.
- menempeli: locative -i, “to stick things onto [a surface],” often implying multiple items or covering. Example: Mereka menempeli dinding dengan poster.
In careful/formal usage for your sentence, menempelkan is the clearest choice, though menempel as written is widely used.
