Yuran pengaktifan itu rendah.

• yuran = fee
• pengaktifan = activation
• itu = that / sometimes functions like the in context
• rendah = low

So the structure is:

• Yuran pengaktifan itu = that/the activation fee
• rendah = is low

A natural gloss is: That activation fee is low or The activation fee is low.

In Malay, adjectives normally come after the noun, not before it.

So:

• yuran rendah = a low fee
• not rendah yuran

In this sentence, rendah is not just modifying the noun inside the noun phrase; it is the predicate of the whole sentence:

• Yuran pengaktifan itu = subject
• rendah = predicate adjective

So the sentence structure is basically:

• [noun phrase] + [adjective]

This is very common in Malay.

Malay often leaves out the verb to be in simple sentences with adjectives and nouns.

So:

• Yuran pengaktifan itu rendah literally looks like Activation fee that low
• but it naturally means That activation fee is low

This is normal Malay grammar. You also see the same pattern in sentences like:

• Rumah itu besar = That house is big
• Kopi ini panas = This coffee is hot

Itu literally means that, and it comes after the noun phrase it refers to.

So:

• yuran pengaktifan itu = that activation fee

But in real usage, itu can also make something sound definite, so depending on context it may feel closer to the activation fee.

A useful point for English speakers:

• English puts that before the noun
• Malay usually puts itu after the noun

Compare:

• that fee → yuran itu
• that activation fee → yuran pengaktifan itu

Pengaktifan is a derived noun meaning activation.

It comes from the root aktif (active) and related verb forms such as mengaktifkan (to activate). The pattern peN- ... -an often forms a noun referring to a process, act, or result.

So:

• aktif = active
• mengaktifkan = to activate
• pengaktifan = activation

This kind of word formation is very common in Malay, especially in formal or technical language.

Not exactly.

• rendah = low
• murah = cheap / inexpensive

For fees, rates, levels, numbers, and amounts, rendah is often the better choice because it focuses on the amount being low.

So:

• yuran ... rendah = the fee is low
• kadar faedah rendah = low interest rate
• gaji rendah = low salary

Murah is more about something being cheap or inexpensive, often from the buyer’s point of view.

For yuran, rendah is the more natural and precise word in many contexts.

Yes, you can.

• Yuran pengaktifan rendah = Activation fees are low / The activation fee is low, depending on context
• Yuran pengaktifan itu rendah = That/The activation fee is low

Adding itu makes the noun phrase more specific and definite. Without it, the sentence can sound more general or less anchored to a specific fee already known in the conversation.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• yuran → yoo-ran
• pengaktifan → puhng-ak-tee-fan
• itu → ee-too
• rendah → ren-dah

Whole sentence:

• Yuran pengaktifan itu rendah
• roughly: yoo-ran puhng-ak-tee-fan ee-too ren-dah

A few notes:

• ng in peng- is like the ng in sing
• r in Malay is usually tapped or lightly rolled
• Malay pronunciation is generally quite regular compared with English

Use tidak before the adjective:

• Yuran pengaktifan itu tidak rendah = That activation fee is not low

For adjectives and verbs, tidak is the usual negator.

Compare:

• rendah → tidak rendah = not low
• mahal → tidak mahal = not expensive

Yes.

• ini = this
• itu = that

So:

• Yuran pengaktifan ini rendah = This activation fee is low
• Yuran pengaktifan itu rendah = That activation fee is low

Both ini and itu normally come after the noun phrase in Malay.
