"Tini does not stand steadily."

Translation: Tini tidak mantap berdiri.

[AbdullahAAK]

Tini does not stand steadily = Tini tidak mantap berdiri
Tini does not speak steadily = Tini tidak berbicara dengan mantap
Can mantap be interchangably used before and after the verb?

[Bev425285]

Why this? What if it were dengan mantap

[Flanders1]

word order is hard to understand here..

[tap_czan]

Can someone explain why is mantap used before the verb here?

[ElvinTjia]

As an Indonesian, I have no clue.

[Eric3gR4ytS0]

I was wondering just the same.
Why can't we say : " Tini tidak berdiri mantap?
Is an adverb standing before the verb?

[Anno552538]

I am also wondering the same. In this case, mantap behave adverb? It is not make sense

[ElvinTjia]

I am an Indonesian and I don't understand either. In this question, Duolingo is at fault, since the word order makes no sense. Mantap should have been put at the end of the sentence.

[Appers6]

This one definitely comes out of nowhere after the "dengan mantap" construction. What is going on with this one to lop off the dengan?

[aine736172]

Be grear if Indonesian person answered tbe questions above i am also confused

[Amen_Oreos]

I'm going to add another comment:
Why is mantap before berdiri in this case?

[liduotyler]

Now I understood, 'mantap' is a adv. , if you learnt Chinese, you would know that an adv. can be placed in front of a verb

[Wisha649776]

What about Tini tidak berdiri yang mantap?

[Bev425285]

Me too, after.
