Questions & Answers about Karena jaringan internet terputus, rapat ditunda.
Can karena go at the beginning like this, and can I also put it in the middle?
Yes. Karena is a subordinating conjunction meaning “because.” You can put the cause first or after the main clause:
- Cause first (use a comma): Karena jaringan internet terputus, rapat ditunda.
- Cause last (no comma needed): Rapat ditunda karena jaringan internet terputus. Both are natural; cause-first puts extra emphasis on the reason.
Do I need the comma after the karena-clause?
Yes, when the dependent clause comes first, standard Indonesian punctuation uses a comma: Karena ..., [comma] main clause. In casual texting it’s sometimes omitted, but it’s recommended to keep it.
What’s the difference between jaringan internet, koneksi internet, and just internet?
- jaringan internet = the internet network (infrastructure/availability)
- koneksi internet = your connection (user-side connectivity)
- internet alone is fine and common in speech In many contexts, all three can work; choose the one that matches the nuance you want.
How does the noun–noun structure in jaringan internet work?
Indonesian puts the head noun first, then its modifier. Here the head is jaringan (network), modified by internet. Think “network (of) internet.” Other examples: (credit card), (phone number).
