Me- verbs", Tips & Notes, Addendum.
https://www.duolingo.com/skill/id/Me--V ... -and-notes
The table on that page is not complete.
The following is missing:
words starting with "k" ==> (me+ng) + (base word - k)
kebut ==> mengebut
kejar ==> mengejar
kipas ==> mengipas
words starting with "s" ==> (me+ny) + (base word - s)
sapu ==> menyapu \nsikat ==> menyikat
monosyllabic words ==> (me+nge) + (base word)
cat ==> mengecat
pel ==> mengepel
bom ==> mengebom
The table on that page states "verbs starting letter".
That implies that me- prefix is only used with verbs.
That is not correct.
It's used to form (mostly) transitive verbs, but the base word does not have to be a verb.
Thank you for reading.
Selamat belajar.
