"Siapa yang memulai serangan ini?"

Translation: Who initiates this attack?

[8enP1jip]

Should be "Who initiated the attack?"

[TJ.Robertson]

Can "started" be used as a substitute for "initiated"?

[volumniax]

Or "began"?

[smeagol_lied]

I believe that would be an adequate translation, too.

[yum__chaa]

Yes

[NudibranchsRcool]

Initiated would be in the past but the sentence gives no indication of being in the past.
"Who initiates..." would be a better answer.

[ichi589126]

yes, correct.
But it is more perfect with "this", because there are "ini".

[Rick392366]

"Siapa yang memulai serangan ini?"
Translation:Who initiate the attack?

Who initiate this attack? = also accepted as a correct answer.

The English translation is not correct.

Who initiates the attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who initiates this attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who initiated the attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who initiated this attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who started the attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who started this attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who began the attack? = not accepted, reported.
Who began this attack? = not accepted, reported.

[CHRIS193871]

All correct

[FaizalZahid]

Now who initiate the translation??

[svLjZvvx]

Who initiated or started the attack

[svLjZvvx]

I want to practise Indonesian but the English they want is so bad in this section that I feel like giving up.

[perfect_peach]

Don’t give up!

But yup, the Indonesian here is very very proper and formal..

[poompah]

Can you also say -- who started this fight?

[yum__chaa]

No, attack specifically means "serangan". If you want to say fight, it would be more appropriate to say "perkelahian".

[perfect_peach]

But i’m Indonesian and i rarely use "perkelahian"

I usually use "berantem"
(Which is not the proper Indonesian languange, but it’s more of the "now days" language..)

[Mick615494]

Why was who commenced this attack wrong? Commenced is the same as initiates
