In Indonesian, generally, \u00a0the meaning of a word has much to do with the affixation applied. By affixation, we mean prefixes such as \u201cber-\u201d and \u201cme-\u201d that we attach to the root word. It is the system of affixation that runs throughout the language which presents the greatest challenge to the learners. Regarding affixation, Indonesian verbs are divided into several categories.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Independent or simple verbs are base-verbs that can stand on their own without the affixation of \u201cber-\u201d or \u201cme-\u201d. The second have the prefix \u201cber-\u201d, the third have the prefix \u201cme-\u201d; the fourth have the \u201cme-…-kan\u201d, etc. Now, we focus only on the independent verb.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are quite a lot of simple verbs. They can be used in sentences as they are, without any affixation. Almost all of them are intransitive, meaning that they do not take objects and they require prepositions when used in sentences (masuk ke,<\/strong> datang ke<\/strong>, datang dari,<\/strong>\u00a0pulang ke,<\/strong> duduk di<\/strong>, etc) . When combined with the suffix \u2013i<\/strong> (memasuki, mendatangi, menduduki) however, these prepositions are omitted. \u00a0Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
