-esyen

Malay edit

Etymology edit

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

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): /-eʃən/
Hyphenation: -é‧syen

Suffix edit

-esyen (Jawi spelling -يشن)

-ation.
Synonym: peng- -an

Usage notes edit

In newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in -ation, alongside with -esen, 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 konvokesyen for convocation and implementasi for implementation).
