Questions & Answers about Petak ini untuk jiran saya.

Why is ini placed after petak, instead of before it?

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

So:

• petak ini = this lot / this space
• rumah ini = this house
• buku itu = that book

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

What does petak mean here?

Petak can mean a space, lot, compartment, section, plot, or designated area, depending on context.

In this sentence, it most likely refers to some kind of marked or designated space, such as:

• a parking space
• a stall space
• a plot
• a boxed-off section

So the exact English word depends on the situation.

Why is there no verb like is in the sentence?
