Welcome back in learning Indonesian, now I will
share about word “baru” in bahasa
Indonesia
In formal word “baru” ini bahasa Indonesian is “new” , but sometimes it words not give translation
in to the single word. Because this word has different using , it depends your
condition for speech . like in English, word baru has different using , look at
this example :
The word baru occurs within the predicate to indicate that an
action has just begun:
Kami baru pulang.
We've just come
home.
In the sentence above baru is a temporal marker within the
predicate .As well as coming before the verb can also precede the subject of
the main clause in a sentence which also contains an adverb of time or a
subordinate clause indicating time. It then indicates that the action of the
main verb does not occur until the time mentioned:
Sore hari baru kami pulang
Not until evening did we go home/We didn't go home
until evening.
Instead of
coming before the main clause aru can come before the time indicator:
Baru sore hari
kami pulang.
No~t
until evening did we go home.
Adverb of time Main
clause
Sore hari baru
kami pulang.
Or
Adverb
of time main
clause
Baru Sore hari kami pulang
The word baru can only precede the whole main clause if this
follows the part of
the sentence indicating the time. If the main clause
comes first baru must come after
the subject, becoming a temporal within the predicate phrase:
Kami baru pulang
sore hari
We didn't go home until evening.
Ambiguity may sometimes occur in writing to wheter baru
links with a preceding noun of
following verbs. Thus out of context the example to the exercise setelah keluar dari rumah baru ia mulai merasa
sakit – could alternatively mean After coming out of the new house he began
to feel sick’ . Some people therefore place a comma : Setelah keluar dari
rumah , baru ia mulai merasa sakit .
In speech intonation and the positioning of a pause
make the meaning clear.
Look at this
Main clause adverb of time
Subject predicate
Kami baru pulang Sore hari
