Dipastikan

Dipastikan is the passive form of the Indonesian verb pastikan, meaning to ensure or to confirm. As a passive construction, dipastikan translates roughly as “to be confirmed,” “to be ensured,” or “has been verified.” It is formed with the prefix di- attached to the base verb pastikan, and is commonly used in formal or official contexts to indicate that a fact or condition has undergone verification or authorization.

Usage and nuance: Dipastikan conveys certainty about a fact after a verification process. It can appear with time markers such as telah, sedang, or akan (e.g., telah dipastikan, sedang dipastikan, akan dipastikan) and is often followed by clauses introduced with bahwa or by noun phrases (e.g., data dipastikan valid; jadwal dipastikan tetap). In news reports and official statements, dipastikan signals that information has been checked and deemed reliable by an authority or process, though the agent of verification may sometimes be omitted.

Examples: Hasil uji klinis telah dipastikan aman. Jadwal konser dipastikan tetap pada tanggal 12 Mei. Pihak berwenang telah dipastikan hadir.

Related terms: dikonfirmasi (confirmed), dijamin (guaranteed). Dipastikan tends to be used in formal or semi-formal contexts, while casual speech may favor simpler expressions like pasti or sudah dipastikan depending on the situation.
