examples are benefactive. .<br />

The benefactive meN-kan does not, however, always have two objects.<br />
When the beneficiary is known or assumed, often it is not mentioned.<br />
For example, in the following exchange, the beneficiary is B, but the<br />
word kamu is not mentioned. The suffix -kan already indicates that the<br />
action is done for someone else.<br />
A: Siapa yang membukakan pintu ketika kamu pulang tadi malam?<br />
Who opened the door (for you) when you came home last night?<br />
B: Bapak.<br />
Father:<br />
Mentioning the beneficiary (hence mentioning kamu twice), as shown<br />
below, is often unnecessary.<br />
Siapa yang membukakan k_amu pintu ketika kamu pulang tadi<br />
malam?<br />
