Working in pairs, take turns to do the following.<br />
1 Practise pronouncing the base words and the meN- words from<br />
Latihan 1.<br />
2 Act out each of the verbs while your partner guesses the meaning.<br />
In transitive verbs, meN- indicates active voice (also called subjectfocus).<br />
That is, it tells us that the focus of the sentence is on the actor,<br />
who is also the subject of the sentence.<br />
MeN- contrasts with the di- prefix in that di- indicates possive voice<br />
(also called object-focus), cvliare the focus is on the object of the<br />
sentence. This contrast is discussed in more detail in Chapter 19.<br />
MeN- verbs with noun base<br />
Some transitive meN- verbs come from nouns. The following verbs<br />
mean 'do something associated with the base word' or 'using what is<br />
indicated by the base word'.<br />

MeW verbs with verbal base<br />
Other meN- verbs have a verbal base and, as mentioned in Chapter 10,<br />
the presence of the prefix is required to make a well-formed verb.
