Questions & Answers about Panitia berkoordinasi agar rapat berjalan lancar.

What exactly does panitia mean? Is it singular or plural?

Panitia means a committee (a group formed to handle an event/task). Indonesian doesn’t mark plural on nouns, so panitia can refer to one committee as a whole. To talk about individual members, say anggota panitia. For more than one committee, use beberapa panitia or panitia-panitia (rare; often avoided in favor of a quantifier like beberapa). Avoid para panitia; say para anggota panitia for “committee members.”

What does the prefix ber- do in berkoordinasi?

Ber- turns the base noun koordinasi into an intransitive verb meaning “to engage in coordination.” So berkoordinasi is “to coordinate (with others),” without taking a direct object.

Do I need to add dengan after berkoordinasi?

Only if you want to specify with whom.

• Generic: Panitia berkoordinasi … (they coordinate, presumably among themselves or with relevant parties)
• Specific: Panitia berkoordinasi dengan pihak terkait / dengan vendor / dengan panitia cabang.

What’s the difference between agar, supaya, and biar?

All mean “so that/in order that.”
