In Indonesian, perintah
or order contains instruction so that the listener does something asked
by the speaker. In Indonesian order is formed by using acting word
(without me- or ber-) with a rising intonation.
For example:
(1) Baca buku itu! Read that book!
(2) Bangun, hari sudah siang!
Get up, it is already late!
(3) Lihat ombak itu!
Look at the waves!
(4) Ambil gambar kera-kera itu, Bill!
Take the pictures of those monkeys, Bill!
(5) Pergi!
Go!
To refine the order or to make it more polite, the particle -lah can be added to the verb
as shown in the following examples:
