The meeting will start at 6 am.
start learning
with time and possesion, we use "pada"

start learning
we use word "tadi" to express indefinite recent past (we know that the action took place recently)

Passive form of verbs
He was beaten.
start learning
to create passive forms from verbs, we add "di-" at the beginning of a particular verb
pukul = to beat; di + pukul = beaten
Dia dipukul.
Plural nouns (1)
flower - flowers
start learning
we double the noun in question
bunga - bunga-bunga
Past tenses - verbs sudah and telah
I had breakfast.
start learning
we use words "sudah" or "telah" to express indefinite past (distant or recent, we don't know when the action took place)
Saya sudah sarapan pagi.
Passive form of nouns
eggs - to lay eggs
start learning
to create passive forms from nouns, we add "ber-" at the beginning of a particular noun
"Ber-" transforms the noun into a passive object of an action: "telur" means "eggs" and when we add "ber-" to "telur" we get an action of doing something with eggs (laying them, in this case): the eggs become an object of the action of laying them.
telur - bertelur
