How to distinguish the three types of suffix -di:

  • The affix -di as a passive verb prefix and a prefix that is combined with other affixes has something in common, namely the same as forming a passive verb. That way, if the sentence can be changed into an active sentence, then the sentence is the first or third type of prefix. Example: A mouse being chased by a cat can be turned into a cat chasing a mouse.
  • The affix -di as a preposition cannot be changed into an active verb because it is an adverb of place or time. Example: at school it cannot be changed to me-school.

The explanation of the -di suffix as above each has a different meaning according to the root word. If different suffixes are used, then the meaning can change. The use of the suffix -di is a passive form from -me suffix. How to distinguish passive or active sentences can be seen from the verbs that have affixes.

In general, passive sentences can be changed into active sentences by changing the suffix -di to -me. The way to distinguish the suffix -di and the preposition -di is to reverse the sentence. If the sentence can be used as an active sentence, it means that the prefix -di is an affix. However, if the sentence cannot be used as an active sentence, it is possible that the prefix -di is a preposition that shows an explanation.
