Questions & Answers about Anggota ini mudah bergerak.

What does anggota mean in this sentence?

Anggota can have more than one meaning in Malay. Common ones are:

• member of a group or organization
• personnel
• limb or body part

In Anggota ini mudah bergerak, the exact meaning depends on context. If the topic is the human body, anggota most likely means limb or body part. If the topic is a group, it could mean this member.

So Malay learners should remember that anggota is a context-dependent word.

Why does ini come after anggota instead of before it?

In Malay, demonstratives such as ini and itu usually come after the noun.

So:

• anggota ini = this member / this limb
• anggota itu = that member / that limb

This is different from English, where this comes before the noun.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?

Malay often does not use a verb like is/are/am in simple descriptive sentences.

So:

• Anggota ini mudah bergerak literally looks like This limb easy move
• but it naturally means This limb is easy to move or This limb moves easily, depending on context

This is very normal in Malay. The relationship between the words is understood without needing a separate word for is.
