Questions & Answers about Kesabaran penting bagi hubungan kami.

Why is kesabaran used instead of just sabar?

Sabar is an adjective or verb-like word meaning patient / to be patient.
Kesabaran is a noun meaning patience (the abstract quality).

Indonesian often makes abstract nouns from adjectives by adding ke- … -an:

• sabar → kesabaran (patient → patience)
• penting → kepentingan (important → interest, concern)
• maju → kemajuan (advanced → progress)

In this sentence, kesabaran is the subject of the sentence:

• Kesabaran = Patience
• penting = is important

So you need the noun form kesabaran, not the adjective sabar.
