Jangan beritahu pengakhiran itu.

Jangan is used to make a negative command, so it means don’t.

A very common pattern in Malay is:

jangan + verb

So:

• Jangan pergi = Don’t go
• Jangan cakap = Don’t speak
• Jangan beritahu = Don’t tell

In this sentence, jangan tells someone not to do the action of telling.

Beritahu is a very common verb meaning tell / inform. It is especially common in everyday speech.

Memberitahu is the fuller, more formal version. Both can mean the same thing, but:

• beritahu = more everyday, conversational
• memberitahu = more formal, written, official

After jangan, Malay very often uses the shorter, more direct verb form, so Jangan beritahu... sounds very natural.

Pengakhiran means ending, conclusion, or final part of something.

It comes from akhir, meaning end or final.

In context, pengakhiran refers to the ending of a story, film, book, and so on.

However, learners should know that pengakhiran can sound a little formal or literary. In everyday conversation, people may also use:

• penamat = ending, finale
• ending = very common in casual speech

So the sentence is correct, but not necessarily the most casual everyday way to say it.

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

So:

• buku itu = that book
• orang itu = that person
• pengakhiran itu = that ending

This is normal Malay word order. English puts that before the noun, but Malay puts itu after it.

Literally, itu means that, so pengakhiran itu literally means that ending.

But in real use, it can also feel like the ending, especially when both speaker and listener already know which ending is being talked about.

So depending on context, pengakhiran itu may be understood as:

• that ending
• the ending

Malay often uses itu where English might naturally use the.

Yes. The structure is completely normal.

The sentence follows this pattern:

Jangan + verb + object

So here:

• Jangan = don’t
• beritahu = tell
• pengakhiran itu = that ending / the ending

Inside the object phrase, the order is also normal:

noun + itu

So the sentence is built in a standard Malay way.

Malay often leaves out information that is clear from context.

In English, we often say:

• Don’t tell me the ending
• Don’t tell us the ending

In Malay, if the listener already knows who the message is aimed at, the person receiving the information can be omitted.

If you want to include it, you can say:

• Jangan beritahu saya pengakhiran itu = Don’t tell me that ending
• Jangan beritahu kami pengakhiran itu = Don’t tell us that ending

So the shorter sentence is not strange; it just leaves the recipient unstated.

It is understandable, but many speakers might choose a more natural or idiomatic version, depending on the situation.

Possible alternatives include:

• Jangan beritahu penamatnya = Don’t tell the ending
• Jangan ceritakan pengakhirannya = Don’t describe/reveal the ending
• Jangan spoil ending tu = Don’t spoil the ending
  very casual, mixed Malay-English

So Jangan beritahu pengakhiran itu is grammatical and understandable, but in everyday speech some other versions may sound more natural.

Yes. Pengakhiran is built from akhir, which means end or final.

This is useful because once you know akhir, you can recognize related words such as:

• akhir = end
• berakhir = to end
• pengakhiran = ending, conclusion

So this sentence is also a good example of how Malay forms related words from one basic root.

Usually no, not in this meaning.

This is an important distinction:

• pengakhiran = ending, conclusion
• akhiran = suffix, as in grammar or word formation

For example, in linguistics:

• -kan ialah satu akhiran = -kan is a suffix

So if you are talking about the ending of a movie or story, pengakhiran is the better choice, not akhiran.

Yes, it is understandable, but it may sound slightly less natural than some other choices.

Beritahu means tell / inform, so the sentence works. But when talking about revealing a story ending, Malay often prefers wording like:

• beritahu penamatnya
• ceritakan pengakhirannya
• dedahkan pengakhirannya

So the original sentence is fine for grammar and meaning, but a native speaker might choose a slightly different verb or noun in everyday conversation.
