Indonesian verbs #

This file defines the Indonesian verbs of Beavers and Udayana's study of the middle voice and three verbs that show the readings of the prefix ter- in Sneddon's grammar.

An entry records the segments of the root, whether the root has a middle in ber-, and the reading of its ter- form if it has one. The prefixed forms are derived, the active by the nasal alternation of Indonesian.Phonology.meN.

  • accidental : TerClass

    An action that was not intended, as in terbawa 'taken by mistake'.

  • abilitative : TerClass

    The ability to carry out the action, as in tidak terbeli 'cannot be afforded'.

      A stative ter- verb involves no action and so has no actor, and an accidental or abilitative one can take an agent phrase with oleh.

        An accidental ter- verb marks the action as not intended; the other two readings leave volition open.

          An abilitative ter- verb keeps the suffix -kan or -i of its base, as in terpecahkan 'can be solved', which the other two readings drop.
