Questions & Answers about Genggaman ini sesuai.

What is genggaman, and how is it formed?

Genggaman is a noun formed from the root genggam, which means to grip, to grasp, or to clench in the hand.

The ending -an often turns a root into a noun, so genggaman means something like:

• a grip
• a grasp
• the way something is held

Depending on context, it can refer to the actual hold, the style of gripping, or the feel of the grip.

Why does ini come after genggaman instead of before it?

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

So:

• genggaman ini = this grip
• buku ini = this book
• rumah itu = that house

This is normal Malay word order. English puts this before the noun, but Malay usually puts ini after it.

Where is the word for is in this sentence?

Malay often leaves out the verb to be in simple sentences like this.

So Genggaman ini sesuai literally looks like:

• grip this suitable

But naturally it means:

• This grip is suitable

This is very common in Malay. You do not usually need a separate word for is in this kind of sentence.
