Anak perempuan itu tersenyum malu-malu ketika namanya dipanggil.

In Indonesian, demonstratives like ini and itu usually come after the noun phrase.

• anak perempuan itu = that girl
• literally, it is more like girl that

This is normal Indonesian word order:

• buku itu = that book
• rumah ini = this house

So anak perempuan itu is the standard way to say that girl.

Both can refer to a female person, but they are not exactly the same.

• perempuan = woman / female / girl, depending on context
• anak perempuan = daughter / girl / female child

In this sentence, anak perempuan emphasizes that the person is a girl, not an adult woman. It is a very common expression.

Compare:

• perempuan itu = that woman / that female person
• anak perempuan itu = that girl

Senyum is the base word related to smile.

tersenyum is an intransitive verb meaning to smile.

The prefix ter- can have different functions in Indonesian, but in tersenyum, it is part of the normal verb form for a spontaneous or natural state/action. You will often learn tersenyum as a set vocabulary item meaning smile.

Examples:

• Dia tersenyum. = He/She smiled.
• Anak itu tersenyum. = The child smiled.

You may also see senyum used in informal speech, but tersenyum is the more standard full verb in a sentence like this.

This is reduplication, which is very common in Indonesian.

The base word malu means shy or embarrassed.
When repeated as malu-malu, it often softens the feeling and gives the sense of:

• shyly
• a little shy
• in a bashful way

So tersenyum malu-malu means the girl smiled in a shy, bashful way.

Reduplication does not always mean plural in Indonesian. Sometimes it changes the nuance, tone, or manner of an action.

Here it works like an adverbial expression, describing how she smiled.

• tersenyum malu-malu = smiled shyly

Indonesian does not always clearly separate adjectives and adverbs the way English does. A word like malu can describe a person, and malu-malu can also describe the manner of an action.

So in this sentence, it is best understood as describing the way the smiling happened.

Ketika means when.

In this sentence:

• ketika namanya dipanggil = when her name was called

It is similar to saat and sometimes waktu in this kind of sentence.

Roughly:

• ketika = when
• saat = when / at the time
• waktu = time / when

All three can introduce time clauses in many contexts, though ketika often sounds a bit more formal or written than waktu.

Examples:

• Ketika saya datang, dia tidur.
• Saat saya datang, dia tidur.
• Waktu saya datang, dia tidur.

All can mean When I came, he/she was sleeping, though the style differs slightly.

Namanya comes from:

• nama = name
• -nya = his / her / its, or sometimes the depending on context

So namanya means his name or her name here. Because the sentence is about anak perempuan itu, we understand it as her name.

Examples:

• namanya = his/her name
• bukunya = his/her book, or sometimes the book
• rumahnya = his/her house

In this sentence, namanya clearly refers back to the girl.

Yes. Dipanggil is the passive form of panggil.

• panggil = call
• memanggil = to call someone
• dipanggil = be called

So:

• ketika namanya dipanggil = when her name was called

This is a very common Indonesian passive pattern:

• di-
  • verb root

Examples:

• dipanggil = called
• dibuka = opened
• ditulis = written

The passive is very common in Indonesian, often more common than English learners expect.

Indonesian often leaves out the agent when it is unknown, unimportant, or obvious from context.

So namanya dipanggil focuses on the event:

• her name was called

It does not tell us who did it, because that detail is not necessary here.

If you wanted to include the agent, you could say something like:

• namanya dipanggil oleh gurunya = her name was called by her teacher

But in many real sentences, Indonesian simply leaves that part out.

Yes, in natural English translation it often can.

Literally, Indonesian says:

• when her name was called

But in many contexts, English would naturally say:

• when she was called
• when her name was called out

So the Indonesian wording is slightly different from the most natural English wording, but the meaning is basically the same.

The structure is:

• Anak perempuan itu = subject
• tersenyum = main verb
• malu-malu = manner / adverbial description
• ketika namanya dipanggil = time clause

So the overall pattern is:

[Subject] + [Verb] + [How] + [When-clause]

More literally:

• That girl smiled shyly when her name was called.

Usually itu corresponds to that, while ini corresponds to this.

• anak perempuan ini = this girl
• anak perempuan itu = that girl

But distance is not always purely physical. Itu can also refer to someone already known, already mentioned, or identifiable in context.

So in real use, itu may mean:

• that girl
• the girl
• that specific girl we both know

It often functions like a marker of something definite or identifiable, not only something physically far away.

Usually not in Indonesian for a sentence like this.

• Anak perempuan itu tersenyum malu-malu ketika namanya dipanggil.

That is perfectly normal.

A comma is generally not needed when the ketika clause comes at the end. Indonesian punctuation is often a bit lighter than English in such cases.

If the time clause came first, some writers might use a comma:

• Ketika namanya dipanggil, anak perempuan itu tersenyum malu-malu.

That is also correct.
