Questions & Answers about Juruelektrik datang malam ini.
Why is juruelektrik written as one word?
Because it is a compound noun in Malay.
- juru- is a prefix-like element often used for a person who is skilled in or responsible for something.
- elektrik means electric or relates to electricity.
So juruelektrik means electrician. Malay often combines parts like this into a single word for professions.
Examples:
- juruteknik = technician
- jurubahasa = interpreter / translator
Do I need seorang before juruelektrik?
No, you do not need it here.
Malay often allows a bare noun as the subject:
- Juruelektrik datang malam ini.
If you say:
- Seorang juruelektrik datang malam ini.
that gives a stronger sense of an electrician or one electrician. Both are possible, but the version without seorang is very natural.
Why is there no word for a or the?
