Resit itu diberi kepada saya di kaunter bayaran.

In Malay, itu is a demonstrative meaning that, but in many sentences it can also work like the when you are talking about a specific, known thing.

So:

• resit = receipt
• resit itu = that receipt / the receipt

Malay demonstratives normally come after the noun, not before it. So unlike English that receipt, Malay says resit itu.

Diberi is a passive form, while memberi is an active form.

• memberi = to give / gives
• diberi = is given / was given

So:

• Resit itu diberi kepada saya... = The receipt was given to me...

This is very natural in Malay. Malay uses passive structures quite often, especially when:

• the receiver or object is more important than the doer, or
• the person who did the action is unknown, obvious, or not important.

If you wanted an active version, you could say something like:

• Juruwang itu memberi resit itu kepada saya.
  = The cashier gave the receipt to me.

The sentence leaves the giver unstated. That is completely normal in Malay, especially in passive sentences.

Resit itu diberi kepada saya di kaunter bayaran means the receipt was given to me, but it does not say exactly who gave it. The speaker probably assumes the listener can infer it from context, such as a cashier or staff member.

If you want to mention the giver, you can add oleh:

• Resit itu diberi kepada saya oleh juruwang.
  = The receipt was given to me by the cashier.

Kepada means to, and here it marks the recipient of the action.

So:

• kepada saya = to me

This is common when something is given, sent, shown, explained, and so on.

In this sentence, kepada helps make the meaning clear:

• Resit itu diberi kepada saya = The receipt was given to me

Without kepada, the sentence would sound unnatural or unclear in this structure.

Sometimes pada and kepada overlap, but here kepada saya is the better and more standard choice because it marks the person receiving something.

A useful rule for learners is:

• use kepada for a recipient, especially a person
• use pada more often for location in time, attachment, or certain fixed expressions

So for give to me, kepada saya is the safe and natural choice.

This is a very common learner question.

There are two different di forms in Malay:

1. di as a preposition = at / in / on
   This is written separately:

   • di kaunter
   • di rumah
   • di sekolah

2. di- as a passive verb prefix
   This is written attached to the verb:

   • diberi
   • ditulis
   • dibuka

So in your sentence:

• diberi = passive verb, so it is attached
• di kaunter bayaran = prepositional phrase, so it is separate

Literally:

• di = at
• kaunter = counter
• bayaran = payment

So di kaunter bayaran means at the payment counter.

A more natural English translation might be:

• at the payment counter
• at the cashier counter
• at the payment desk

depending on context.

Yes, diberikan is also possible:

• Resit itu diberikan kepada saya di kaunter bayaran.

This is also correct and may sound a bit more formal or complete. In everyday Malay, diberi is very common and natural.

Very roughly:

• diberi = simpler, common, everyday
• diberikan = slightly more formal or explicit

Both work here.

Yes. That is also correct.

Compare the focus:

• Resit itu diberi kepada saya di kaunter bayaran.
  Focuses more on the receipt

• Saya diberi resit itu di kaunter bayaran.
  Focuses more on me

Both mean almost the same thing in practice:

• The receipt was given to me at the payment counter
• I was given the receipt at the payment counter

Malay often allows this kind of change in focus.

The word order can be changed somewhat, especially with place phrases like di kaunter bayaran.

For example:

• Resit itu diberi kepada saya di kaunter bayaran.
• Di kaunter bayaran, resit itu diberi kepada saya.

Both are possible. The second one emphasizes the location more.

Still, the original sentence is a very normal, neutral order:

• topic/object: Resit itu
• passive verb: diberi
• recipient: kepada saya
• place: di kaunter bayaran

Yes. Resit is the standard Malay word for receipt. It is a loanword, but it is fully normal in Malay.

Its spelling follows Malay spelling conventions, so it looks different from English receipt:

• English: receipt
• Malay: resit

So resit itu is exactly what you would expect to see in normal Malay.
