Malay edit

Etymology edit

Borrowed from English -ation, from Latin -ātiō. Doublet of -esyen, -sen, -asi, -si, and -syen

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): /-esen/
Hyphenation: -é‧sén

Suffix edit

-esen (Jawi spelling -يسين)

-ation.
Synonym: peng- -an

Usage notes edit

In newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in -ation, alongside with -esyen, this is now replaced by -asi in an effort to make the ending of words of this kind uniform with its Dutch-derived counterparts in Indonesian (compare imigresen for immigration and implementasi for implementation).
