Questions & Answers about Tayar ini mempunyai kebocoran dan memerlukan tampalan.

Why does ini come after tayar instead of before it?

In Malay, demonstratives like ini (this) and itu (that) usually come after the noun.

So:

• tayar ini = this tire
• rumah itu = that house

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

What does mempunyai mean here, and is it common in everyday speech?

Mempunyai means to have / to possess.

So Tayar ini mempunyai kebocoran literally means This tire has a leak.

However, in everyday spoken Malay, people often prefer simpler alternatives such as:

• Tayar ini ada kebocoran
• Tayar ini bocor

The version with mempunyai sounds a bit more formal or written.

Why is it kebocoran and not just bocor?
