Question and Answer:

1. Fakhri Rizaldi: “Are transitive intransitive verbs different from transitive intransitive
predicates?”
Answered by Henny Kholifah: “Transitive and intransitive verbs are different concepts
from transitive and intransitive predicates. Transitive and intransitive verbs refer to
whether or not the verb uses a direct object. A transitive verb is one that makes sense
only if it exerts its action on an object. Intransitive verbs will make sense without an
object. On the other hand, transitive and intransitive predicates refer to the structure of
the predicate in a sentence. A predicate with a transitive verb is called a transitive
predicate, while a predicate with an intransitive verb is called an intransitive predicate. In
summary, transitive and intransitive verbs refer to whether or not the verb uses a direct
object. Transitive and intransitive predicates refer to the structure of the predicate in a
sentence.”
2. Sovia Lutfianita Utami: “How can we make it easier to know that it is a morpheme
sentence?”
Answered by Meidistiani Lakantu: “The first step is to refer to the meaning of the root
word itself. Moreover, we can identify the morpheme by analyzing whether the word has
 a combination of root word and suffix or prefix. If it has a suffix or prefix, it is a
morpheme.”
Additional answer by Adam Ismail: “Morpheme is a lexical unit, not a word, thus if why
morpheme is not a word, for example, a word cleaner is a one unit word but it has two
morpheme; clean & -er. Clean as bersih and -er as lebih. The way to identify the
morpheme, first find the root word then decide it is with prefix or suffix and check it on
dictionary it has its own meaning or not ”
3. Vivin Sumanti: “Would you explain morpheme in simple words?”
Answered by Meidistiani Lakantu: “A morpheme is a meaningful linguistic unit
consisting of a word such as dog, or a word element, such as the –s at the end of dogs,
that can’t be divided into smaller meaningful parts.”
