Usage notes edit
This is used in newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in -ation in an effort to make the ending of such words uniform with its Dutch-derived counterparts in Indonesian. Previously, the suffix in words of this kind were adapted as -esen and -esyen (e.g. as in imigresen from immigration and konvokesyen from convocation).
