Mereka mengirim lokasi rapat.

Mereka is the third-person plural pronoun, so it usually means they or them depending on its role in the sentence.

In this sentence, mereka is the subject, so it means they.

A few useful notes:

• It does not show gender. It can refer to men, women, or a mixed group.
• It normally refers to people, not things.
• Indonesian does not change the form the way English does with they/them/their. The function is understood from the sentence.

Mengirim is the active verb form built from the root kirim.

• Root: kirim = send
• Active prefix: meN-
• Combined form: mengirim

This prefix often marks that the subject is actively doing the action.

There is also a spelling/sound change here:

• meN- + kirim becomes mengirim
• the initial k of kirim drops after the prefix

This is a very common pattern in Indonesian verb formation.

No. Indonesian verbs usually do not change form for tense.

So mengirim by itself could mean:

• send
• sends
• is sending
• sent
• will send

The exact time is normally understood from:

• context
• time words such as kemarin (yesterday), sekarang (now), besok (tomorrow)

So this sentence does not tell you the time unless more context is given.

Lokasi rapat is a noun phrase made of two nouns:

• lokasi = location
• rapat = meeting

In Indonesian, one noun often directly modifies another noun without needing a word like of.

So:

• lokasi rapat = meeting location
• literally something like location meeting

The second noun, rapat, tells you what kind of location it is.

Because Indonesian often expresses this idea by simply putting two nouns together.

So instead of saying something like:

• location of the meeting

Indonesian naturally says:

• lokasi rapat

This noun-noun structure is very common. Other examples include:

• jadwal rapat = meeting schedule
• ruang kelas = classroom
• nomor telepon = telephone number

English often needs of or another linking structure, but Indonesian often does not.

Because lokasi rapat is the direct object of the verb mengirim.

The sentence structure is:

• Mereka = subject
• mengirim = verb
• lokasi rapat = object

So the meaning is that what they sent was the meeting location itself, or the information about it.

If lokasi were showing place, then you would often expect a preposition such as:

• di = in, at
• ke = to

But here lokasi rapat is not a place expression in the sentence structure. It is the thing being sent.

No. In this sentence, rapat is a noun, meaning meeting.

That matters because rapat can also be an adjective in other contexts, meaning tight or close together.

Here, though, because it follows lokasi, it is clearly functioning as a noun that modifies another noun:

• lokasi rapat = meeting location

So this is not about something being tight; it is about a meeting.

Yes. This is a very typical Subject-Verb-Object sentence.

The order is:

• Mereka = subject
• mengirim = verb
• lokasi rapat = object

This is one of the most common and straightforward sentence patterns in Indonesian, especially in simple active sentences.

Sometimes yes, if the context already makes the subject clear.

Indonesian often omits subjects when they are understood. For example, in conversation, someone might simply say:

• Mengirim lokasi rapat.

But as a full standalone sentence for learners, including mereka makes it clearer and more complete.

So:

• with mereka = explicit subject
• without mereka = possible in context, but less specific by itself

Both mengirim and mengirimkan can be used, but they are not always identical in nuance.

• mengirim is a very common basic form for to send
• mengirimkan can sound a bit more explicitly like send something for/to someone, depending on context

In many everyday situations, mengirim lokasi rapat is perfectly understandable and natural.

A learner should mainly notice that:

• mengirim is already a complete, normal verb
• Indonesian sometimes adds -kan for slightly different verb patterns or emphasis on what is being sent or for whom it is sent

No. Indonesian does not normally use articles like English a or the.

So lokasi rapat can mean:

• a meeting location
• the meeting location

Which one is intended depends on context.

This is very common in Indonesian. Nouns often appear without any article, and the listener figures out whether the reference is general or specific from the situation.
