"Para wanita meminum susu."

Translation: Women drink milk.

[Mokothar]

Shouldn't it be "The Women"?

[Sam67858]

This word ‘meminum’ isn’t in my dictionary. ‘Minum’ is already a verb so what does the me- prefix do?

[Rick392366]

The me- prefix is used to form (mostly) transitive verbs, but in this case the base word "minum" is already a transitive verb.
In this sentence, it makes the phrase more formal.

"meminum" = "minum" = "to drink", they're synonyms (see KBBI):

meminum/me·mi·num/ v minum;

In everyday speech the me- prefix is usually dropped, especially with these verbs "makan", "minum", "mohon", etc..

why is para required here

[Patrick903816]

I have the same question:-)

[JaneAngran]

Para is required to emphasize the plural meaning
