Prepositions - Malay Grammar

In Malay Grammar, prepositions play a crucial role in indicating relationships between various elements in a sentence.

Prepositions in Malay are used to express location, direction, time, means, and purpose. They are typically placed before a noun or pronoun to show its relationship with other parts of the sentence.

For example, in the sentence “Saya berjalan ke sekolah,” the preposition “ke” indicates the direction or destination of the action “berjalan” (walking) towards the noun “sekolah” (school).

Malay prepositions can be single words such as “ke” (to), “dari” (from), “di” (in), or compound words like “bersebelahan dengan” (adjacent to).

It is important to note that certain prepositions require specific noun markers known as “partikel” to be added to the noun. For instance, the preposition “ke” is usually accompanied by the particle “kepada” when referring to a person, as seen in the sentence “Saya memberikan hadiah kepada dia” (I gave a gift to him/her).

Understanding prepositions is essential for constructing meaningful and grammatically correct sentences in Malay.
