There are three common ways to translate infinitives into Indonesian, including: Infinitive-to-"untuk" + the verb; used when the infinitive indicates a purpose, state, or intention of the verb or procedure, or when the infinitive acts as an adverb (adverbial infinitive). The "untuk" is mostly mandatory in this way of translating infinitive. For example: Kakakku berangkat untuk melanjutkan pendidikannya — My sister departed to continue her education (lit. My sister departed for continuing her education) Terlalu bagus untuk menjadi nyata — Too good to be true (lit. Too god for being true) Untuk membuat panekuk yang sederhana dan lezat ... — To make a simple and delicious pancake ... (lit. For making a simple and delicious pancake ...) Infinitive-to-verbal noun; used when the infinitive indicates a desire, imperative, must, or when the infinitive acts as a noun (nominal infinitive), which also corresponds to the usage of subjunctive mood. The "untuk" are mostly not written in this way of translating infinitive. For example: Saya ingin menulis sebuah buku. — I want to write a book. (not: Saya ingin untuk menulis sebuah buku; lit. I want writing a book) Dia perlu pergi ke toilet. — He needs to go to toilet. (not: Dia perlu untuk pergi ke toilet; lit. He needs going to toilet) Saya harus menyelesaikan PR-ku sekarang. — I have to finish my homework now. (not: Saya harus untuk menyelasikan PR-ku sekarang) Infinitve-to-("untuk") + passive verb; used when the infinitive indicates an attribute of the verb, or acts as an adjective (adjectival infinitive). The "untuk" is only written when it makes sense to use "untuk" in this way of translating infinitive. Despite the infinitive is an active verb in the original language, it is mostly translated into passive verb in Indonesian. This is because the infinitive is an ergative verb, where the verb is written as an active voice but has a passive sense (e.g. "Bringing durian into airline baggage counts as crime.", but it rather means: "Bringing durian into airline baggage is counted as crime."). In addition, ergative verbs can be both transitive or intransitive. Although Indonesian does have intransitive verbs, but it does not have ergative verbs, which makes Indonesian translates ergative verbs as passive voice. For example: Soal ini mudah untuk diselesaikan. — This problem is easy to solve (lit. This problem is easy for being solved) Dia punya banyak pekerjaan untuk dilakukan. — She has a lot of work to do (lit. She has a lot of work for being done) Lastly, "untuk" is not a direct equivalent to the English infinitive particle "to", as it is only a supplementary preposition to clarify and make sense of the infinitive. ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “untuk”, in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language] (in Indonesian), Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016 == Malay == === Pronunciation === (Literary Standard) IPA(key): /ˈuntuk/ [ˈʔun̪.t̪uʔ] (Southern Peninsular Malaysia Standard) IPA(key): /ˈuntok/ [ˈʔun̪.t̪oʔ] Hyphenation: un‧tuk === Preposition === untuk (Jawi spelling اونتوق) for (intended for; directed at; belonging to).
