Diinstal

Diinstal is a term used in Indonesian and Malay to indicate that something has been installed or is being installed. It is formed by combining the prefix di-, which marks the passive voice, with the verb instal (to install). As a passive form, diinstal typically describes an action done by someone or something other than the subject, or a state resulting from installation.

In Indonesian orthography, the verb instal is spelled with a single l, and the passive form diinstal is written with the prefix di- preceding the root. The word often appears in contexts related to software, hardware, and system configuration, where it denotes completion or presence of the installation process. The meaning can be completed (has been installed) or ongoing (is being installed), depending on the accompanying auxiliary or context.

Usage examples are common in technical writing and user instructions. For instance: "Aplikasi ini telah diinstal pada semua perangkat," meaning the application has been installed on all devices. Another example: "Sistem akan diinstal secara otomatis setelah verifikasi," indicating automatic installation after verification. In everyday language, diinstal may appear in discussions about updates, drivers, or packages included in a system image.

Related terms include instal, the base verb; instalasi, the noun meaning installation; and in some contexts, uninstall or menghapus instal, which is used to refer to removing an installation. Diinstal remains a standard grammatical form in formal and technical Indonesian, reflecting typical patterns of passive voice with prefix di-.
