Object-focus with unmentioned subject
Many object-focus sentences appear without the subject. This is because
the subject is either known, assumed, non-specific (for example,
someone, something) or not so important as to warrant a mention.
Mobil sap
Object
My car
dicuri.
Verb
was stolen.
In this example, we know that someone stole the car, but the person is
not identified. What is important in this sentence is the fact that the car
was stolen, not so much who stole it.
Object-focus with no subject usually takes the di- form (third person,
Variation A) and is often found in news reports and advertisements.
Here are some real examples from Indonesian newspapers.
News headlines:
500 orang dikabarkan tewas dalam gempa bumi itu.
500 people are reported dead in that earthquake.
Penjahat mati didor di angkutan umum
Criminal shot dead in public transport
