Whats the difference between 'mem' and 'men' before words? Something about past tense?
No, it's not about past tense, no need to worry about tenses, Indonesian doesn't use tenses.
"me-" prefix converts a base word into a verb.
It depends on the starting letter of the base word if "me-" is 'conjugated'.
The conjugation table looks like this :
Starting letter base word | Conjugation |
---|---|
l, m, n, r, w | Me + base |
vowel, g, h | Me + ng |
c, d, j | Me + n |
b, f, v | Me + m |
k | Me + ng – k |
t | Me + n – t |
s | Me + ny – s |
p | Me + m – p |
monosyllabic | Me + nge +base |
Here is a Tinycards deck with more examples :

No need to do the lessons there, just flip through the cards of the deck to see how a base word is converted into a "me-" verb.
