Usage notes

• Unlike other verbs in Indonesian generally, this verb always uses the prefix meng-, even in the sentence order patient–agent–verb, where many verbs in that sentence order does not use the prefix meng-, because it sounds strange or ungrammatical. Even in passive conjugation, this verb still uses meng- along with di-. The derivative verb, ertikan, also experiences the same thing.
