Questions & Answers about Pengudaraan di sini kurang baik.

What does pengudaraan mean exactly?

Pengudaraan means ventilation or air circulation.

It comes from the root udara (air) and the noun-forming pattern peN- ... -an, which often creates a noun for a process, system, or concept.

So:

• udara = air
• pengudaraan = ventilation / the process or condition of air circulation

This is more specific than just air. The sentence is talking about how well the space is ventilated, not simply about the air itself.

Why is it pengudaraan and not just udara?

Because udara means air, while pengudaraan means ventilation.

Compare:

• Udara di sini kurang baik. = The air here is not very good.
  This usually suggests the air quality is poor.
• Pengudaraan di sini kurang baik. = The ventilation here is poor.
  This focuses on airflow / circulation.

So the sentence is specifically about the room or place not getting enough fresh air or circulation.
