Pengarah drama itu membaca sinopsis dan syorkan dokumentari ini.

Malay often links nouns directly without a separate word like of.

• pengarah drama literally looks like director drama
• but in natural English it means director of a drama or drama director

In pengarah drama itu, the itu goes with drama, so the phrase is understood as the director of that drama.

That is normal Malay word order for demonstratives.

• drama itu = that drama
• dokumentari ini = this documentary

English puts this/that before the noun, but Malay usually puts ini/itu after it.

Very roughly:

• ini = this
• itu = that

They can also help make the noun more specific, a bit like how English uses this, that, or sometimes the.

Not usually. Malay does not have articles that work exactly like English the and a/an.

So a noun like sinopsis can mean:

• a synopsis
• the synopsis
• sometimes just synopsis/synopses depending on context

Specificity is usually understood from context, or shown with words like ini and itu.

Baca is the root word meaning read.
Membaca is the active verb form, made with the meN- prefix.

In formal or careful Malay, when the subject actively does something to an object, this prefixed form is very common:

• baca = root
• membaca = to read / reads / is reading / read, depending on context

So membaca sinopsis is a normal formal pattern meaning reads the synopsis or is reading the synopsis.

In casual speech, people often drop the prefix and just say baca.

This is a very good question, because many learners notice that it is not fully parallel with membaca.

The full standard form is usually:

• mengesyorkan = to recommend

So a more fully standard version of the sentence would usually be:

• Pengarah drama itu membaca sinopsis dan mengesyorkan dokumentari ini.

Using syorkan by itself can sound shortened, more informal, or stylistically clipped. It may appear in speech, notes, headlines, or less formal writing.

Because the sentence already has the formal verb membaca, the mix of membaca ... dan syorkan ... feels a little uneven. In careful written Malay, mengesyorkan would be the safer choice.

The ending -kan is a very common Malay suffix. It often helps form transitive verbs or gives a causative/applicative sense, depending on the word.

Here:

• syor = recommendation / suggestion
• syorkan / mengesyorkan = to recommend

So in this sentence, you do not need to separate the meaning too mechanically. It is best learned as part of the verb mengesyorkan = recommend.

Malay verbs do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

So membaca can mean different things depending on context:

• reads
• is reading
• read
• sometimes has read

The same applies to (menge)syorkan.

If the speaker wants to make time clearer, Malay often adds time words or aspect markers, such as:

• sedang = in the middle of doing
• telah / sudah = already
• akan = will

Without extra context, the sentence is tense-neutral.

Because the same subject is doing both actions.

• Pengarah drama itu = the subject
• membaca = first action
• dan (menge)syorkan = second action

Malay, like English, does not need to repeat the subject when one subject does two coordinated actions.

So this is normal:

• Pengarah drama itu membaca sinopsis dan mengesyorkan dokumentari ini.

Repeating the subject would usually sound unnecessary unless you wanted special emphasis.

Yes. The basic order here is very normal:

• Subject: Pengarah drama itu
• Verb: membaca
• Object: sinopsis
• dan
• Verb: (menge)syorkan
• Object: dokumentari ini

So the overall structure is basically Subject + Verb + Object, which is one of the most common sentence patterns in Malay.
