- awalan
- A prefix: me-, ber-, pe-, di-, ter-, ke-, se-.
- akhiran
- A suffix: -kan, -an, -i, -nya, -lah.
- kata dasar
- The root: the word before any affix was attached — “ajar” inside “mempelajari”.
- peluruhan
- A letter dissolved by an attaching prefix, which then has to be restored. “Menyapu” comes from “sapu”, not “nyapu” — the s assimilated into ny.
- konfiks
- A prefix and suffix that arrive as a pair, such as per-…-an.
