Questions & Answers about Semak berat badannya.

What kind of sentence is Semak berat badannya.?

It is an imperative sentence, so it gives a command or instruction.

The understood subject is you, but Malay usually leaves it out in commands. So the structure is basically:

Semak = check
berat badannya = his/her body weight

So the full sense is Check his/her weight.

What does semak mean here?

Semak means check, review, or verify.

In this sentence, it suggests checking someone's weight, possibly by:

• looking at a record,
• confirming a measurement,
• or making sure the information is correct.

If you mean actually weigh the person on a scale, Malay often uses timbang instead:

• Timbang berat badannya. = Weigh his/her body weight / weigh the person

So semak is more like check, while timbang is more specifically weigh.
