Questions & Answers about Penglihatan Nenek masih baik.
What does penglihatan mean, and is it related to lihat?
Yes. Penglihatan is a noun related to lihat or melihat, which mean to see. In this sentence, penglihatan means vision, eyesight, or sense of sight.
So it refers to the ability to see, not just the physical eyes themselves.
Why does Nenek come after penglihatan?
This is how possession is commonly expressed in Indonesian.
The pattern is:
thing possessed + possessor
So:
penglihatan Nenek = Grandma's eyesight
Indonesian does not need an apostrophe plus s, and it does not need of here.
Why is Nenek capitalized?
When nenek is used like a name or family title for a specific person, it is often capitalized, just like Grandma in English.
So:
- Nenek = Grandma, referring to a specific person
- nenek = grandmother or an old woman in a general sense
In this sentence, the capital letter suggests it means Grandma rather than just a grandmother in general.
