Dilampaui

Dilampaui is an Indonesian verb form that denotes a state in which something has been surpassed or exceeded. It is a passive participle derived from the verb lampau, using the prefix di- to indicate passive voice and the -i ending as part of the participial form. The term is commonly used in formal or written Indonesian to indicate that a threshold, target, or benchmark has been exceeded by someone or something else.

Etymology and morphology: The root lampau conveys notions of passing or going beyond. Dilampaui combines di- with lampau and the -i ending to create a passive past participle meaning “has been surpassed.” It contrasts with melampaui, the active form meaning “to surpass.” In sentences, the agent can be introduced with oleh or omitted when understood from context.

Usage: Dilampaui is used to report surpassing a quantity, standard, or claim. It often appears in news, official reports, and analytical writing. Examples include: Nilai ujian itu dilampaui oleh siswa lain, meaning “The exam score was surpassed by another student,” and Target pertumbuhan perusahaan telah dilampaui, meaning “The company’s growth target has been surpassed.”

Nuance and related forms: The word typically refers to measurable surpassing of a limit or achievement, rather than a simple passage of time. Related terms include melampaui (to surpass), lampau (past; to pass), and pelampauan (the act or instance of surpassing).
