We can also attach ke-an to words that already have a prefix, such as<br />

ber-. For example, the word berada (to be at a place) comes from the<br />

base word ada [there idare, exist)and the prefix ber-. When we add<br />

ke-an, we get keberadaan, which means 'existence'.<br />

Below are more examples.<br />

a Did<br />

beraksara literate keberaksaraan literacy<br />

bersama together kebersamaan togetherness<br />

YOU LnoW<br />

We can also form longer ke--an abstract nouns by adding the<br />

negative word tidak before the base word.<br />

Tidak adil not fair ketidakadilan injustice<br />

Tidak mengerti not understand ketidakmengertian incomprehension<br />

Tidak pasti not certain ketidakpastian uncertainty<br />

Tidak tahu not know ketidaktahuan ignorance
