Inputnya

Inputnya is a colloquial Indonesian term formed from the English loanword input and the possessive suffix -nya. It functions as a noun phrase meaning “the input” or “its input,” depending on context. The expression is widely used in everyday Indonesian, as well as in technical and digital environments, where it can refer to data, information, or contributions provided to a system, project, or discussion.

In written Indonesian, inputnya may appear as inputnya or input-nya; both variants convey the same meaning, with the hyphen form sometimes favored by prescriptive guidelines and the closed form more common in casual writing. The term reflects the common practice of incorporating English technical terms into Indonesian while attaching native grammatical markers.

Usage and contexts include technology, data processing, and collaborative work. For example, in user interfaces one might say “Masukkan inputnya di kolom ini” (Enter the input in this column), or in discussions of feedback, “Terima kasih atas inputnya” (Thanks for your input). In formal documentation, however, speakers often prefer native terms such as masukan or data masukan, or use the English term input directly in technical contexts.

Note that in formal Indonesian, masukan is typically preferred for “input,” while inputnya remains prevalent in informal speech and among Indonesian speakers who frequently engage with software, programming, and online collaboration.
