Usage notes
This enclitic can also have a plural meaning, especially when referring to objects other than humans.
The enclitic can be used after id dalam if it's used with the meaning "it; its".
When it is used to emphasize an adjective, the adjective is usually placed in front of the sentence, with the enclitic being stressed in the pronunciation.
When it is contained within a sentence adverb or used as a nominalizing suffix (from adjectives and/or verbs), the resulting derivatives become dependent (i.e., unable to stand alone).
As with other enclitic pronouns in the language, it is optional and can be replaced with other terms (depending on the function).
