Questions & Answers about Kondisi pasien masih baik.
What does each word in Kondisi pasien masih baik mean?
- kondisi = condition
- pasien = patient
- masih = still
- baik = good / fine / okay
So the sentence means something like The patient's condition is still good or The patient is still in good condition.
Why is pasien placed after kondisi?
In Indonesian, a noun often comes first, and the word that describes or specifies it comes after.
So:
- kondisi pasien = the patient's condition literally condition patient
This is very common in Indonesian:
- nama dokter = the doctor's name
- rumah sakit = hospital
- warna mobil = the car's color
So kondisi pasien is a normal Indonesian noun phrase.
Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
Indonesian often leaves out the verb to be in simple statements.
So:
- Kondisi pasien masih baik literally looks like Patient's condition still good
- But in natural English, you translate it as The patient's condition is still good
Sometimes Indonesian uses adalah, but usually not before adjectives like baik. In this sentence, leaving it out is the normal and natural choice.
What does masih mean here?
Masih means still.
It shows that the situation continues from before until now. So masih baik means:
- still good
- still okay
- has remained good
Without masih, the sentence would simply say the patient's condition is good, without emphasizing continuation.
What does baik mean in this sentence?
Here, baik means good, fine, or okay.
In medical or health-related contexts, baik often means:
- in good condition
- stable
- okay
So kondisi pasien masih baik suggests the patient is doing okay, at least in general terms.
Can I say Kondisi pasien baik without masih?
Yes. Kondisi pasien baik is grammatical and natural.
The difference is:
- Kondisi pasien baik = The patient's condition is good.
- Kondisi pasien masih baik = The patient's condition is still good.
So masih adds the idea of continuation.
Is this sentence formal?
Yes, it sounds fairly formal and is especially natural in medical, hospital, or report-like contexts.
Because of the word kondisi, it sounds a bit more professional or clinical than everyday casual speech.
In casual conversation, people might also say things like:
- Pasiennya masih baik.
- Keadaan pasien masih baik.
- Pasien masih baik-baik saja.
But Kondisi pasien masih baik is perfectly natural, especially in a formal setting.
Could I use keadaan instead of kondisi?
Yes. Keadaan pasien masih baik is also correct.
The difference is small:
- kondisi often sounds a bit more formal, technical, or clinical
- keadaan is also common, but can feel a bit broader or more general
In a hospital or medical update, kondisi pasien is very common.
Why is there no the or a in Indonesian?
Indonesian does not use articles like the or a/an the way English does.
So:
- kondisi pasien can mean the patient's condition or sometimes just patient condition, depending on context
- The listener understands definiteness from the situation
This is normal in Indonesian. You usually do not need to add anything to mean the.
What is the subject of this sentence?
The subject is kondisi pasien.
So the structure is:
- Kondisi pasien = subject noun phrase
- masih baik = predicate describing the subject
In other words, the sentence is saying something about the patient's condition.
Can baik describe a person too, or only a condition?
Yes, baik can describe both people and things, but the meaning changes with context.
For example:
- Dia baik. = He/She is kind/good.
- Kondisinya baik. = His/Her condition is good.
- Cuacanya baik. = The weather is good.
So in Kondisi pasien masih baik, baik does not mean kind. It means good / okay / in good condition.
Would Pasien masih baik mean the same thing?
Not exactly.
Pasien masih baik is understandable, but it can sound incomplete or slightly odd depending on context, because baik with a person can also mean good in a moral sense, not just physically okay.
If you want to talk clearly about health, these are better:
- Kondisi pasien masih baik.
- Keadaan pasien masih baik.
- Pasien masih baik-baik saja.
These make it clearer that you mean the patient's condition or state of health.
How is Kondisi pasien masih baik pronounced?

- kondisi ≈ kon-DEE-see
