Questions & Answers about Pengurus memberikan perintah.

What does pengurus mean, and how is it formed?

Pengurus means manager.

It is a noun formed with the prefix peN-, which often creates a person associated with an action or role. It is related to urus (to manage / handle), so pengurus is literally something like the person who manages.

Examples:

• urus = manage, handle
• pengurus = manager

Why is the verb memberikan used here instead of just memberi?

Both memberi and memberikan can mean to give, but they are used a little differently.

• memberi often focuses more directly on the recipient:
  • Saya memberi dia buku.
• memberikan often focuses more on the thing being given, or sounds a bit more formal:
  • Saya memberikan buku kepada dia.

In Pengurus memberikan perintah, memberikan works very naturally because perintah is the thing being given. It sounds formal and fits well with official or workplace language.
