There are three different use of prefix se-\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One 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.\t\t\t\t<\/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.\t\t\t\t<\/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)\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The combination of prefix se- and a noun sometimes forms an adjective meaning \u201call, the whole (base)\u201d
\nExamples:
\n–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 se-Indonesia
\n all – Indonesia
\n–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 sedunia
\n (whole) world
\n– (orang) sekampung
\n the whole village\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prefix se- means \u201cone\u201d. It occurs with group numbers to form cardinals:
\nsepuluh\tten
\nsebelas\televen
\nseratus\tone hundred\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prefix se- also form fractions, often in combination with per-:
\nseperempat \tone- quarter
\nseperlima\tone \u2013 fifth\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Classifier \u201cse-\u201d\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A classifier precedes a count noun. If the noun is singular, se- \u201cone\u201d precedes the classifier.
\nOnly three classifiers are in frequent use:\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
