Questions & Answers about Perwakilan murid bertemu kepala sekolah secara resmi.

What exactly does the phrase perwakilan murid mean, and how is it different from wakil murid?

• Perwakilan murid literally means “the representation of students,” and in practice can mean either “a student representative” or “a student delegation,” depending on context.
• Wakil murid means “student representative/deputy” and points more clearly to one person.
• If you mean a single person, the clearest options are seorang perwakilan murid or wakil murid.
• If you mean a group, you might say perwakilan para murid or delegasi murid.

Is perwakilan murid singular or plural? How do I say “a/the student representative(s)”?

Indonesian has no articles, so number and definiteness come from context or add-ons:

• “a student representative” = seorang perwakilan murid / seorang wakil murid
• “the student representative” = perwakilan murid itu
• “student representatives” = para wakil murid / para perwakilan murid
• “the student representatives” = para wakil murid itu

Should it be bertemu kepala sekolah or bertemu dengan kepala sekolah?
