Tajaan separa tidak menanggung elaun sara hidup.

A useful breakdown is:

• tajaan = sponsorship, funding
• separa = partial
• tidak = not
• menanggung = to cover, bear, pay for
• elaun = allowance
• sara hidup = living expenses / livelihood / cost of living

So the structure is:

• Tajaan separa = the subject
• tidak menanggung = the negative verb phrase
• elaun sara hidup = the object

In other words, it is built like:

[subject] + [not + verb] + [object]

Malay usually uses:

• tidak to negate verbs and adjectives
• bukan to negate nouns or make a contrast/correction

Here, menanggung is a verb, so tidak is correct:

• tidak menanggung = does not cover

Using bukan here would sound wrong in standard Malay.

Compare:

• Dia tidak datang. = He/She did not come.
• Itu bukan rumah saya. = That is not my house.

Menanggung comes from the root tanggung, which has the idea of bearing, carrying, or taking responsibility for something.

In financial contexts, menanggung often means:

• to cover the cost of
• to pay for
• to bear expenses for

So in this sentence, tidak menanggung elaun sara hidup means that the partial sponsorship does not cover the living allowance.

It is a little broader than just pay. It suggests responsibility for the expense.

Malay often adds the meN- prefix to a root to form an active verb.

• root: tanggung
• active verb: menanggung

This is very common in Malay:

• baca → membaca
• tulis → menulis
• tanggung → menanggung

So menanggung is the normal active verb form meaning covers / bears / pays for.

Malay often does not need a verb like is/are in the same way English does.

But in this sentence, there actually is a verb: menanggung.

So the sentence is not saying:

• Partial sponsorship is not living allowance

It is saying:

• Partial sponsorship does not cover living allowance

Malay can omit is/are in sentences like:

• Dia guru. = He/She is a teacher.

But here the sentence already has a full verb, so no extra is is needed.

Not exactly.

Tajaan means sponsorship or funding/support, which is a broad term. It does not always mean a formal scholarship.

• tajaan separa = partial sponsorship / partial funding
• biasiswa separa = partial scholarship

If the context is education, English might sometimes translate tajaan separa as partial scholarship, but the Malay word itself is wider than biasiswa.

So tajaan is not automatically the same as scholarship.

This is a common Malay noun phrase.

• elaun = allowance
• sara hidup = living expenses / cost of living / subsistence

Together, elaun sara hidup means:

• living allowance
• cost-of-living allowance
• subsistence allowance

Malay often combines nouns like this, where the second part specifies the first:

• kad pelajar = student card
• yuran pengajian = tuition fees
• elaun sara hidup = living allowance

So the second part tells you what kind of allowance it is.

Sara hidup relates to supporting daily life or meeting living needs.

• sara has the sense of supporting or providing for
• hidup = life / living

So sara hidup refers to the costs of everyday living, such as food, housing, and basic personal expenses.

That is why elaun sara hidup is not just any allowance; it is specifically an allowance for daily living costs.

Malay does not use articles in the same way English does.

So:

• tajaan separa could mean partial sponsorship, a partial sponsorship, or the partial sponsorship
• elaun sara hidup could mean living allowance, a living allowance, or the living allowance

The exact meaning depends on context.

This is very normal in Malay. Learners often have to get used to the fact that Malay leaves this kind of information unstated unless needed.

Yes. A few alternatives are possible, depending on style:

• Tajaan separa tidak meliputi elaun sara hidup.
• Tajaan separa tidak merangkumi elaun sara hidup.
• Tajaan separa tidak termasuk elaun sara hidup.

These all mean something close to partial sponsorship does not include/cover a living allowance.

The original menanggung slightly emphasizes bearing the cost or taking financial responsibility.

So:

• tidak termasuk = does not include
• tidak meliputi / merangkumi = does not cover/include
• tidak menanggung = does not bear/pay for

The original sentence is natural, especially in administrative or funding contexts.

It sounds fairly formal or administrative.

Words like:

• tajaan
• menanggung
• elaun sara hidup

are common in official notices, scholarship information, sponsorship terms, or university documents.

In casual speech, someone might say something simpler, depending on context, such as:

• Tajaan separa tak cover duit sara hidup.

That is more colloquial and mixes in the English loanword cover, which is common in speech, but not as formal as the original sentence.
