Nombor penjejakan menunjukkan status penghantaran.

Word by word:

• nombor = number
• penjejakan = tracking
• menunjukkan = shows, indicates
• status = status
• penghantaran = delivery, shipment

So the structure is literally:

• nombor penjejakan = tracking number
• menunjukkan = shows
• status penghantaran = delivery status

In Malay, noun phrases like this often put the main noun first and the describing noun second.

So:

• nombor penjejakan = number for tracking = tracking number
• status penghantaran = status of delivery = delivery status

This is very common in Malay. English often puts the describing noun first, but Malay often puts it after the main noun.

Malay usually does not use articles like a, an, or the.

So:

• Nombor penjejakan menunjukkan status penghantaran can mean
  The tracking number shows the delivery status
  or
  A tracking number shows delivery status

Which one sounds best in English depends on context, but Malay itself usually leaves that unspecified.

Menunjukkan is the verb, and it means to show or to indicate.

The sentence structure is:

• Nombor penjejakan = subject
• menunjukkan = verb
• status penghantaran = object

So the sentence follows a very familiar Subject–Verb–Object order:

• The tracking number
  • shows
    • the delivery status

The base word is tunjuk, meaning show or point.

From that, Malay forms:

• tunjuk = show / point
• menunjuk = to point
• menunjukkan = to show something, to indicate something

The ending -kan often makes the verb more clearly transitive, meaning it takes an object.

Here, the object is:

• status penghantaran

So menunjukkan is the natural form because the tracking number is showing something.

Both are nouns made with common Malay affixes.

penjejakan

• root: jejak = track, trace
• pen-...-an creates a noun
• penjejakan = tracking, the act/process of tracking

penghantaran

• root: hantar = send, deliver
• peng-...-an creates a noun
• penghantaran = delivery, shipment, dispatch

These peN-...-an forms are very common in formal or standard Malay.

Yes. Penghantaran can refer to the process of sending or delivering something, so depending on context it may be translated as:

• delivery
• shipment
• shipping
• dispatch

In a sentence about a tracking number, delivery status or shipment status are both natural translations.

It sounds neutral to somewhat formal.

Why?

• penjejakan
• penghantaran
• menunjukkan

These are standard, polished forms often seen in apps, websites, customer service, or written information.

In casual speech, people might use shorter or less formal wording depending on the situation, but this sentence is perfectly normal and natural in standard Malay.

In very informal speech, especially in tech, business, or online contexts, some speakers may mix English and Malay and say something like nombor tracking. However, in standard Malay, nombor penjejakan is the better form.

So:

• nombor penjejakan = standard Malay
• nombor tracking = informal mixed usage, not the best choice in formal writing

No, Malay verbs usually do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

So menunjukkan by itself does not specifically mean only:

• shows
• showed
• will show

The time is usually understood from context or from time words such as:

• telah = already / has
• sedang = currently / is
• akan = will

Without any time marker, this sentence is naturally understood as a general present statement:

• The tracking number shows the delivery status

A rough guide for an English speaker:

• Nombor ≈ NOM-bor
• penjejakan ≈ pen-juh-JAH-kan
• menunjukkan ≈ muh-nun-JOOK-kan
• status ≈ STAH-toos
• penghantaran ≈ peng-han-TAR-an

A few helpful notes:

• j in Malay sounds like English j in jam
• ng sounds like ng in sing
• u is usually like oo in food
• many e sounds in prefixes like me- and pe- are often a weak uh sound

Malay pronunciation is generally much more regular than English spelling.

This is the normal and most straightforward order.

• Nombor penjejakan = subject
• menunjukkan = verb
• status penghantaran = object

So the sentence follows standard Malay word order. You could change wording for emphasis in a larger context, but for a simple statement, this version is the most natural.
