Questions & Answers about Rangka membolehkan dua lontaran.

What does rangka mean here?

Rangka usually means frame, framework, or structure.

In this sentence, it is being used as a noun, probably referring to some kind of frame/unit/round in a specific context. Depending on the situation, rangka can sound more general than the English word frame.

A learner should know that rangka is also used in other expressions, for example:

• rangka bangunan = building framework
• rangka karangan = essay outline
• rangka manusia = human skeleton

So the exact sense of rangka depends a lot on context.

How does membolehkan work?

Membolehkan means to allow, to enable, or to make possible.

It is built from:

• boleh = can, be able to
• mem- ... -kan = an affix pattern that often makes the word causative or transitive

So:

• boleh = can
• membolehkan = to allow something / to make something possible

In this sentence, membolehkan takes an object:

• dua lontaran = two throws

So the structure is basically:

• Rangka
  • membolehkan
    • dua lontaran
• subject + verb + object

This is very similar to English The frame allows two throws.
