Questions & Answers about Semak kemajuan itu.

Is semak a command here?

Yes. In Semak kemajuan itu, semak is being used as an imperative, so the sentence is a command or instruction.

Malay often makes commands by using the base verb on its own, without a subject. So this is understood as:

• Check the progress
• Review that progress

The subject you is not stated, but it is understood.

Why is there no word for you in the sentence?

Because Malay commonly leaves out the subject when giving commands.

In English, we usually also omit you in imperatives:

• Check the progress.
• not usually You check the progress.

Malay works similarly here. So Semak kemajuan itu naturally means Check that/the progress without needing a separate word for you.
