Kebanyakan pengunjung sudah pulang.

Here, kebanyakan means most or the majority of.

So kebanyakan pengunjung = most visitors.

A useful comparison:

• banyak pengunjung = many visitors
• kebanyakan pengunjung = most visitors

Also, kebanyakan can sometimes mean too much / too many in other contexts, but in this sentence it clearly means most because it is followed by a noun.

Malay nouns usually do not change form for singular vs. plural.

So pengunjung can mean:

• a visitor
• visitors

The context tells you which one is meant. In this sentence, kebanyakan already makes it clear that the meaning is plural, so pengunjung is understood as visitors.

Malay does not normally use articles like a, an, and the the way English does.

So pengunjung can mean:

• a visitor
• the visitor
• visitors
• the visitors

depending on context.

That means Kebanyakan pengunjung sudah pulang could be understood as:

• Most visitors have already gone home, or
• Most of the visitors have already gone home

The exact nuance depends on the situation.

Pengunjung means visitor.

It comes from the root kunjung, which is related to visiting. The prefix peN- forms a noun for a person associated with an action.

So roughly:

• kunjung = visit
• pengunjung = visitor

This is a very common Malay word-building pattern, and learning it can help you recognize other nouns too.

Sudah means already, and it often marks that something has been completed.

So:

• sudah pulang = has/have already gone home or already went home

Malay does not need an auxiliary like have the way English does.
Instead of saying have gone home, Malay often uses sudah before the verb.

In Malay, words like sudah usually come before the verb.

So:

• sudah pulang = already gone home

This is the normal order.

If an English speaker expects something like pulang sudah, that sounds unnatural in standard everyday Malay for this meaning.

Not exactly. Pulang specifically means go home or return home.

So this sentence is more precise than just saying the visitors left. It suggests that they went home.

Compare:

• pulang = go home / return home
• pergi = go
• meninggalkan = leave something/someone
• beredar = disperse / leave

So sudah pulang gives the idea of people having gone back home, not just walked away.

Often yes, but there is a nuance.

• pulang usually means go/return home
• balik often means go/come back, and in everyday speech it can also mean go home

So Kebanyakan pengunjung sudah balik may be heard in casual speech, but sudah pulang is a bit more standard and clearly carries the idea of returning home.

You usually would not need para here.

• para pengunjung = the visitors / visitors (plural, human)
• kebanyakan pengunjung = most visitors

Because kebanyakan already implies a group, adding para can sound unnecessary or redundant.

So kebanyakan pengunjung is the natural choice.

No. It means most of them have gone home, not necessarily all.

So some visitors may still be there.

If you wanted to say all the visitors have gone home, you would need a different expression, such as semua pengunjung sudah pulang.

Yes. It is a perfectly normal complete Malay sentence.

Structure:

• Kebanyakan pengunjung = subject
• sudah = aspect marker (already)
• pulang = verb

Malay often expresses ideas more compactly than English, especially because it does not need articles or auxiliary verbs in the same way English does.
