Questions & Answers about Juri memberi komentar singkat setelah pertandingan.
Why is there no word for a/the in front of juri or komentar?
Indonesian does not use articles like a, an, or the. Nouns such as juri and komentar stand alone, and context tells you whether they are definite or indefinite.
To make things more specific, Indonesian uses other words instead of articles, for example:
- seorang juri = a judge / one judge
- juri itu = that/the judge
- komentar itu = that/the comment
But in many cases, like this sentence, you simply say juri and komentar without any article.
What does juri mean here, and is it singular or plural?
Juri usually refers to a judge in a contest or competition, or sometimes a panel of judges.
In this sentence, juri could mean:
- the judge (one person), or
- the judges (a group), depending on context.
Indonesian does not mark plural on nouns by default. If you want to be clear:
- seorang juri = one judge
- para juri = the judges (as a group)
- dewan juri = the panel of judges
This sentence alone does not say whether it’s one judge or several.
