1.\tOne function of se- with nouns is to form adjectives that mean \u201csharing (base), having the same (base)\u201d, where the base is a noun.
\nExamples:
\nDia teman sekelas saya.\tHe is a classmate of mine.
\nMaya rekan sekamarnya.\tMaya is his\/her roommate.<\/p>\n
Alternatively, the se- (base) form may occur as a predicate and be followed by an accompaniment phrase beginning with dengan \u201cwith\u201d.
\nExamples:
\nWanda sekelas dengan Yolanda.\tWanda is in the same class as Yolanda.
\nAnaknya seumur dengan anak saya.\tHis\/her child is the same age as my child.<\/p>\n
Other words in this group include:
\nsearah (dengan) having the same direction\/purpose (as)
\nseimbang (dengan) in balance (with)
\nsekantor (dengan) sharing an office (with)
\nselaras (dengan) in harmony (with)
\nsependapat (dengan) of the same opinion (as)
\nseranjang (dengan) sharing a bed (with)
\nsetara (dengan) equal (to), matching, on the same level (as)<\/p>\n
The combination of prefix se- and a noun sometimes forms an adjective meaning \u201call, the whole (base)\u201d
\nExamples:
\n–\tse-Indonesia
\nall – Indonesia
\n–\tsedunia
\n (whole) world
\n–\t(orang) sekampung
\nthe whole village<\/p>\n

\nsepuluh\tten\t\t\t\tseribu\t\tone thousand
\nsebelas\televen\t\t\t\tsejuta\t\ta million
\nseratus\tone hundred<\/p>\n
3.\tPrefix se- also form fractions, often in combination with per-:
\nseperempat \tone- quarter\t\t\tsetengah\tone half
\nseperlima\tone \u2013 fifth\t\t\tseparuh \tone half<\/p>\n
While seperdua \u201chalf\u201d is possible, setengah and separuh are commonly used.<\/p>\n
