Questions & Answers about Selepas juruteknik itu pergi, saya semak semula perisian dan sambungan internet supaya semuanya berfungsi dengan baik.

Why does itu come after juruteknik instead of before it?

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

• juruteknik itu = that technician / the technician
• rumah ini = this house

So the order is the opposite of English:

• English: that technician
• Malay: juruteknik itu

In many contexts, itu can also make the noun feel definite, so juruteknik itu may be understood as the technician as well as that technician.

Why is there no word showing the past tense, like went or checked?
