| 1The -kan row is either causative or applicative, with transitive roots it mostly has applicative meaning. Notes: Irregular in its formation, but also irregular in its defectivity. The passive form results on dimengerti instead of expected *dierti. Some of these forms do normally not exist or are rarely used in standard Indonesian. Some forms may also change meaning. | |||||
