bahasa indonesia

- Words
with peN-an and per-an are mostly abstract nouns (things we
cannot touch, see or feel]. Many of these nouns come from verb; and, as
such, they carry some element of 'action' in their meaning. This is
rather different from many ke-an words which are also abstract nouns,
but in which no 'action' is implied.
However, not all peN-an and per-an words come from verbs. Some are
noun-based, which makes them more like ke-an nouns.
Because of their abstract nature, peN-an and per-an words are
abundant in areas of language use where abstract concepts are required,
such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, academic writing and
talks about economic, historical, political and other issues.
Most peN-an words are derived from meN- verbs. This is why the
sound changes in meN- verbs are also found in peN-an words.
