Is there something in the Indonesian that indicates the past tense? Can, where are you going to meet your spouse/partner', be acceptable'?

does anyone know if 'pasangan' can be translated into english as 'partner'?

i find partner is much more commonly used than spouse, given that in many parts - though perhaps not indonesia??? - a marriage contract is no longer assumed nor necessary to recognise committed relationships.

Strange! Pasangan is a more a Malasian word. It was not at all in my indonesian dictionary .
