Pusat pengambilan itu dekat rumah.

Malay often leaves out the verb to be in simple sentences like this.

So:

• Pusat pengambilan itu = the pickup/collection center
• dekat rumah = near the house/home

Put together, it means The pickup center is near the house even though there is no separate word for is.

This is very normal in Malay.

In Malay, demonstratives like ini and itu usually come after the noun.

For example:

• rumah itu = that house
• buku ini = this book

So:

• pusat pengambilan itu = that pickup center

In many contexts, itu can also make the noun phrase feel definite, so it may be translated as that or sometimes simply the, depending on context.

Pengambilan is a noun formed from the root ambil, which means take or pick up.

The pattern is:

• ambil = take, pick up
• pengambilan = taking, collection, pickup, retrieval

So pusat pengambilan literally means something like:

• pickup center
• collection center
• collection point

The exact English translation depends on context.

Dekat means near or close.

In this sentence, it acts as the predicate:

• Pusat pengambilan itu dekat rumah.
• That pickup center is near the house.

You can think of dekat as doing the job of English near.

Malay does not need an extra preposition like to here. dekat rumah already means near the house.

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

So rumah can mean:

• a house
• the house
• house/home

The exact meaning comes from context.

In this sentence, English may translate it as the house because that is what makes sense in context, but Malay itself does not need a separate word for the.

It can mean either house or home, depending on context.

So dekat rumah could be understood as:

• near the house
• near home

If the meaning has already been given to the learner, that chosen translation is probably the best one for this context, but the Malay word itself is flexible.

It is the main predicate of the sentence.

The structure is:

• Pusat pengambilan itu = subject
• dekat rumah = predicate

So this is not one long noun phrase meaning something like the house-near pickup center.

Instead, it is a complete sentence:

• The pickup center is near the house.

That is why dekat is best understood as part of what is being said about the subject.

Yes, in some contexts you may hear dekat dengan rumah, which also means near the house or close to the house.

However, dekat rumah is already very natural and common.

So:

• dekat rumah = near the house
• dekat dengan rumah = near/close to the house

Both are understandable, but the shorter form is very normal in everyday Malay.

The basic order is:

• Subject: Pusat pengambilan itu
• Predicate: dekat rumah

So the pattern is roughly:

• [Noun phrase] + [description/location]

This is a very common Malay sentence pattern. English needs is, but Malay often does not:

• Pusat pengambilan itu dekat rumah.
• That pickup center is near the house.
