Questions & Answers about Pemarkahan itu jelas pada papan skor.

What does pemarkahan mean exactly in this sentence?

Pemarkahan is a noun built from markah (mark, score, points) with the circumfix peN-...-an, which often forms a noun related to a process, system, or result.

So pemarkahan can mean things like:

• scoring
• marking
• the awarding of points
• sometimes the score/score display, depending on context

In this sentence, it most likely refers to the scoring / the score shown.

A useful comparison:

• markah = a mark, grade, or point
• skor = score
• pemarkahan = scoring/marking as a process or system, or sometimes the scoring outcome in context

Why is itu placed after pemarkahan instead of before it?

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

So:

• pemarkahan itu = that scoring / the scoring
• papan skor itu = that scoreboard

This is normal Malay word order.

For English speakers, it may feel reversed, because English says that scoring, but Malay says scoring that.

Also, itu often works a bit like the in context, making the noun more definite.
