Questions & Answers about Setiap pagi, saya berjalan dengan keluarga saya di taman.
What does setiap pagi mean in the sentence?
It means "every morning." This time expression indicates when the action occurs and shows that the activity is habitual.
How is saya used in the sentence, and what does it signify?
saya translates to "I" and serves as the subject of the sentence. When it follows a noun—as in keluarga saya—it also indicates possession, meaning "my family."
What does berjalan mean, and why isn’t it conjugated for tense?
berjalan means "to walk." In Malay, verbs are used in their base form without tense changes. Temporal details, like setiap pagi ("every morning"), provide context for when the action happens.
How does the word dengan function in this sentence?
dengan means "with." It connects the verb to the accompanying noun phrase keluarga saya, indicating that the walking is done in the company of one's family.
What is conveyed by the phrase keluarga saya?
keluarga saya means "my family." In Malay, possession is shown by placing the pronoun after the noun rather than using an apostrophe, as in English.
What does di taman indicate?
di taman translates to "in the park." The preposition di is used to denote location, and taman means "park" or "garden," specifying where the walking takes place.
How does the overall sentence structure compare to English word order?
The sentence follows an order similar to English: it starts with a time expression (setiap pagi), then the subject (saya), followed by the verb (berjalan), and then additional details about accompaniment (dengan keluarga saya) and location (di taman). This structure helps learners see how contextual clues replace verb conjugations when indicating time in Malay.
