ber- is a prefix, used to form verbs.
[ber-] + [base word] = verb
'henti' (noun) is the base word, meaning 'stop'
[ber-] + [henti] = berhenti ==> to stop.
It's probably explained in the tips and notes.
Have you already read those ?
Terima kasih! I have read some of the tips and notes but I should try to read more of it
No worries.
I've seen that there is even a "sticky" topic now with the grammar notes.
'ber-' prefix is not on that list.
It's probably already explained in the original Tips&Notes.
(the lightbulb icon)
Long story short....'ber-' prefix can have the following meanings :
"to have" , "to use , "to produce".
(please check/doublecheck with the Tips&Notes)
Like this:
Saya bersepeda. (I use the bicycle ==> I bike/I cycle !?)
Saya beranak. (I have a child / I give birth to a child)
Not sure about the bicycle (to cycle ???) (is that a verb in English ?).
But that's how the ber- prefix is used in Indonesian.
To form a verb from other words (mostly nouns).
