Ditata

Ditata is a term from Indonesian language meaning to be arranged, organized, or set up in a particular order. It is formed from the root tata, which conveys the ideas of arranging, ordering, or planning, with the prefix di- signaling passive voice. In this form, ditata emphasizes the result or state of something having been arranged rather than the action itself.

In use, ditata can describe people, objects, or plans that have already been organized. For example, ruang rapat itu ditata dengan rapi describes a room that has been arranged neatly. Susunan acara ditata oleh panitia refers to a program that has been structured by the organizing committee. The expression is common in formal, administrative, and design contexts, but it also appears in everyday speech to indicate tidying or organizing efforts.

Grammatical notes: ditata is the passive form, the active counterpart is menata (to arrange or to set up). The related adjective tertata conveys a state of being well arranged, while menata emphasizes the action of arranging. The versatility of ditata allows it to modify nouns such as ruang, acara, atau tata letak, and it is widely understood across Indonesian-speaking communities.
