Questions & Answers about Pengunjung tertarik kepada menara tinggi itu.

Is pengunjung singular or plural here?

It can be either visitor or visitors. Malay nouns often do not change form for singular vs. plural.

So pengunjung tertarik kepada menara tinggi itu could mean:

• A visitor is attracted to that tall tower
• Visitors are attracted to that tall tower

Usually the context tells you which one is meant.

If you want to make the plural more explicit, you could say:

• para pengunjung = the visitors
• pengunjung-pengunjung = visitors

Why is there no word for are in this sentence?

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

So instead of saying something literally like Visitors are interested, Malay simply says:

• Pengunjung tertarik = The visitors/visitors are interested

This is very normal in Malay, especially when the predicate is an adjective or a state.
