Questions & Answers about Wi‑Fi sekolah lambat malam ini.

Why is there no verb “is” in the sentence?

Indonesian doesn’t use a copula before adjectives. The adjective itself works as the predicate.

• Subject + adjective: Wi‑Fi sekolah lambat = “The school’s Wi‑Fi is slow.”
• Don’t insert adalah before an adjective. Wi‑Fi sekolah adalah lambat sounds wrong. Use adalah only to link nouns (e.g., Wi‑Fi sekolah adalah jaringan nirkabel).

What does Wi‑Fi sekolah literally mean? How is possession shown?

It’s a noun–noun compound where the second noun modifies the first: Wi‑Fi sekolah = “the school’s Wi‑Fi” (school Wi‑Fi). Indonesian often shows possession with simple noun stacking like this.

Can I say Wi‑Fi di sekolah instead? What’s the nuance?

• Wi‑Fi sekolah = the school’s own Wi‑Fi (ownership/association).
• Wi‑Fi di sekolah = Wi‑Fi located at the school (location), possibly any network at that place. Both are correct; choose based on the nuance you want.
