Preskripsi itu menyatakan dos ubat titis.

In Malay, demonstratives such as ini and itu normally come after the noun.

So:

preskripsi itu = that prescription / the prescription

This is standard Malay word order. English says that prescription, but Malay says prescription that.

Literally, itu means that. But in real usage, it often also helps mark something as specific or already known, so English may translate it as the.

So preskripsi itu could feel like:

• that prescription
• the prescription

The best choice depends on context.

Menyatakan means to state, to specify, or to declare.

It comes from the root nyata, with the verbal pattern meN-...-kan added to it. In many cases, this pattern forms an active transitive verb, meaning a verb that takes an object.

Here, the object is dos ubat titis.

So:

• menyatakan = state / specify
• menyatakan dos ubat titis = state/specify the dosage of the drops

The sentence follows a very common Malay pattern:

Subject + Verb + Object

Breakdown:

• Preskripsi itu = subject
• menyatakan = verb
• dos ubat titis = object

So the structure is straightforward and quite similar to English in this case.

Malay often puts nouns together directly, without using a preposition like of.

So:

• dos = dose / dosage
• ubat titis = drop medicine / medicinal drops

Together, dos ubat titis means the dosage of the drops or the dosage for the drop medication.

This kind of noun grouping is very common in Malay.

Literally:

• ubat = medicine
• titis = drop / drip

So ubat titis means medicinal drops.

Depending on context, it could refer to:

• eye drops
• ear drops
• nose drops
• another liquid medicine given in drops

If Malay wants to be more specific, it can add another word, for example:

• ubat titis mata = eye drops
• ubat titis telinga = ear drops

Malay usually does not have to mark singular and plural as clearly as English does.

So ubat titis can already mean drops as a type of medicine, without adding anything extra.

Malay only marks plurality when it is important or needs emphasis. In many everyday sentences, the context is enough.

Preskripsi is a borrowed word, and that is very normal in Malay, especially in fields like medicine, law, and technology.

Many Malay medical terms are loanwords, so English speakers often recognize them more easily than they expect.

Even so, the grammar around the word is fully Malay, as in:

• preskripsi itu
• preskripsi doktor
• preskripsi ini

It helps to group it like this:

[dos] [ubat titis]

First identify ubat titis as one unit meaning medicinal drops. Then dos tells you we are talking about the dosage of that medicine.

So the phrase is not:

• dos ubat
  • titis

It is:

• dos
  • ubat titis

That grouping makes the meaning much clearer.

The ny sound in menyatakan is like the sound in Spanish señor, or roughly the ni sound in English onion.

A rough pronunciation guide for the sentence is:

pre-SKRIP-si too men-YA-ta-kan dos OO-bat TI-tis

The exact accent may vary, but the important part is that ny is a single combined sound, not a plain n followed by y separately.
