Questions & Answers about Terima kasih atas bantuannya; kuitansi sudah saya foto dan kirim.
What does the suffix in bantuannya mean? Does -nya mean “your”?
-nya here marks definiteness/politeness, roughly “the help” and often understood as “your help” from context. It’s a soft, neutral way to refer to the listener’s help without naming them. So Terima kasih atas bantuannya ≈ “Thank you for the help (you gave).”
Why is it atas after Terima kasih, not untuk?
After Terima kasih, both atas and untuk are possible. Atas is more formal and set-phrase-like (common in emails/letters): Terima kasih atas bantuannya. Untuk (or buat) is more casual: Terima kasih untuk/buat bantuannya. All are acceptable; choose based on formality.
Could I say Terima kasih atas bantuan Anda or bantuanmu instead of bantuannya?
Yes:
- bantuan Anda = explicitly formal “your help.”
- bantuanmu = explicitly informal “your help.”
- bantuannya = neutral/polite without naming the person; very common and safe.
What does sudah mean here? Is it past tense?
Sudah marks completed aspect (“already”), not tense. It shows the actions are done. Variants:
