Didik

Didik is a word in Indonesian and Malay languages that primarily serves as a verb meaning to educate, train, or discipline someone. It is used across contexts—from parenting to formal education and organizational training. The root is also found in related forms: mendidik (to educate; transitive verb), pendidik (educator), and pendidikan (education). The noun pendidik refers to a person who educates, while pendidikan denotes the system or act of education. In everyday use, didik can appear in expressions such as orang tua mendidik anaknya, or sekolah yang mendidik murid-muridnya, though the latter is less common due to the standard use of mendidik.

In Indonesia and Malaysia, didik is part of the standard vocabulary, and as a given name it appears occasionally, particularly in Indonesia. When used as a personal name, it is typically masculine and may be a shortened form of longer names or a nickname; this usage is distinct from the verb form.
