Dilarang<br />

Literally meaning 'it is prohibited', this word is the passive form of the<br />

verb melarang (to prohibit) and is used primarily for public notices<br />

(official prohibitions). For instance, the following notice may be found<br />

at a spot where pedlars are not supposed to have their base of<br />

operations.<br />

Dilarang berjualan di sini.<br />

Do not do any selling here.<br />

Other common notices are:<br />

Dilarang membuang sampah di sini.<br />

'<br />

Do not throw rubbish here. .<br />

Dilarang masuk.<br />

Do not enter.<br />

Imperatives using dilarang are impersonal, formal and mostly used in<br />

written Indonesian. The person doing the prohibiting is not stated, but<br />

can be assumed. Because of this impersonal nature, we would not use<br />

this form in casual speech except in jest; for example, to tall a Mend<br />

not to come to our house, or to tell your older sister not to be angry<br />

with you.<br />
