Cadangan balas itu membantu menghasilkan penyelesaian.

The sentence follows a very common Malay pattern:

[noun phrase] + [verb phrase]

So here you have:

• Cadangan balas itu = the subject
• membantu menghasilkan penyelesaian = the predicate / what is said about the subject

More specifically:

• cadangan balas itu = a definite noun phrase
• membantu = help / helps / helped depending on context
• menghasilkan penyelesaian = produce a solution / bring about a solution

A natural breakdown is:

• Cadangan balas itu = that / the ...
• membantu = helped / helps
• menghasilkan = to produce / generate / bring about
• penyelesaian = solution / resolution

So grammatically, it is very straightforward Malay word order.

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

So Malay says:

• rumah itu = that house / the house
• cadangan balas itu = that ... / the ...

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

So:

• English: that proposal
• Malay: cadangan itu

If the noun has more than one word, itu normally goes at the end of the whole noun phrase:

• cadangan balas itu not
• itu cadangan balas in this kind of sentence

It can often function like either one, depending on context.

In many real sentences, itu does two jobs:

• it can point to something specific, like English that
• it can also make the noun phrase definite, more like English the

So cadangan balas itu could be understood as:

• that response proposal / that feedback
• or simply the response proposal / the feedback

Malay does not have articles exactly like English a and the, so words like itu often help show that the speaker means a specific thing.

This is normal in Malay.

Malay often allows one verb to be followed directly by another verb, especially with verbs like:

• boleh = can
• mahu = want
• cuba = try
• perlu = need
• membantu = help

So:

• membantu menghasilkan = help produce
• cuba memahami = try to understand
• boleh pergi = can go

English often uses to:

• help to produce

Malay often does not need an extra word there.

So membantu menghasilkan penyelesaian is perfectly normal.

Yes, you could, but in many cases untuk is unnecessary and often omitted.

Compare:

• membantu menghasilkan penyelesaian
• membantu untuk menghasilkan penyelesaian

Both can be understood, but the first one is usually more direct and natural.

Malay often prefers the simpler verb chain unless there is a special reason to emphasize purpose or make the sentence heavier/formal.

So for learners, a good rule is:

• after membantu, a bare verb is usually fine

Menghasilkan comes from the root hasil, which is connected with result, yield, or outcome.

With the verbal affixes, menghasilkan means something like:

• to produce
• to generate
• to bring about
• to yield

So it is a very common Malay verb for causing a result to appear.

Morphologically:

• root: hasil
• verb form: menghasilkan

The meng- prefix is part of the active verb system in Malay, and -kan often gives the sense of causing or producing something.

So menghasilkan penyelesaian is literally along the lines of:

• produce a solution
• bring about a resolution

Penyelesaian is a noun meaning:

• solution
• resolution
• settlement

It is related to selesai, which means:

• finished
• completed
• settled

Malay often forms nouns with the pattern peN-...-an.
Here, that gives:

• selesai → penyelesaian

This noun refers to the state or result of settling something, so in context it means solution or resolution.

That is why:

• selesai is more like an adjective/state
• penyelesaian is a noun

For example:

• Masalah itu selesai. = The problem is settled / finished.
• Kami mencari penyelesaian. = We are looking for a solution.

Because Malay does not have an indefinite article like English a / an.

So a bare noun such as penyelesaian can mean:

• a solution
• the solution
• sometimes just solution in a general sense

The exact meaning depends on context.

This is very common in Malay. For example:

• Saya beli buku. = I bought a book / the book / books, depending on context
• menghasilkan penyelesaian = produce a solution

So English needs an article there, but Malay usually does not.

Malay verbs usually do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

So membantu can mean:

• helps
• helped
• will help

The time is usually understood from context or from time words such as:

• semalam = yesterday
• sekarang = now
• esok = tomorrow
• sudah = already
• akan = will

So without extra markers, membantu is neutral about time.

That is why the same sentence could be interpreted differently depending on context.

This is one of the biggest differences from English and a very common learner question.

Malay usually puts the main noun first and the modifying word after it.

So in noun phrases, the general pattern is often:

head noun + modifier

Examples:

• rumah besar = big house
• kad kredit = credit card
• cadangan balas = a type of cadangan modified by balas

So if balas is describing what kind of cadangan it is, then cadangan balas fits normal Malay ordering.

This is the opposite of many English noun-noun combinations, where the modifier often comes first.

It depends on what is meant.

Grammatically, the phrase is possible. But in everyday Malay, if you mean feedback, the much more common expression is:

• maklum balas

So a learner might hear:

• Maklum balas itu membantu menghasilkan penyelesaian.

If the intended meaning is more like counterproposal, response proposal, or a context-specific kind of proposal, then cadangan balas may make sense.

So the grammar of the sentence is fine, but the most natural noun phrase depends on the exact meaning intended.
