Questions & Answers about Penilaian risiko bermula sekarang.

What does penilaian mean, and how is it formed?

Penilaian is a noun meaning assessment, evaluation, or appraisal.

It comes from the root nilai, which relates to value or evaluate. The pattern peN- ... -an often turns a root into a noun referring to a process or result. So:

• nilai = value / assess
• penilaian = assessment / evaluation

This is a very common word-building pattern in Malay.

Why is risiko placed after penilaian?

In Malay, a noun that describes another noun usually comes after it.

So:

• penilaian risiko = risk assessment

This is the normal Malay order. English usually puts the describing noun first, but Malay puts it second. Compare:

• rumah besar = big house
• pengurusan projek = project management
• penilaian risiko = risk assessment

So risiko is specifying what kind of assessment it is.
