VERBS
This page introduces you to a very important verb structure in Indonesian, the OBJECT-FOCUS structure. This may also be referred to as the passive voice structure.
ACTIVE VOICE SENTENCES
The most basic Active Voice sentence takes the pattern:
Subject + Verb + Object
where...
SUBJECT = the actor or doer in the sentence
VERB = the "doing" word; a word for actions or processes.
OBJECT= the person or thing that is acted upon or has the action done to it.
An active voice sentence is readily identified because the verb will take a "me"-type prefix ("me", "mem", "men" or "meng").
