Adalah
is a simple word that has no real direct translation in English. Its purpose is effectively to
separate the subject from the rest of the sentence. It sometimes seems to take on the role of “to
be” in some sentences, but its real purpose is to act as a connector. If we had
adalah
in English, it
might be used like this:
My mother’s brother is my uncle.
In Indonesian,
Adalah
would be used as a connector for the subject and take the place of “is”.
My mother’s brother adalah [is] my uncle.
