Peraturannya

Peraturannya is an Indonesian term built from the noun peraturan, meaning rule or regulation, plus the possessive suffix -nya. The form denotes that the rules belong to or concern a specific subject or entity that has been mentioned earlier in the text. In usage, peraturannya can refer to the rules of a person, organization, policy, or jurisdiction.

In grammar, peraturan + -nya creates a noun phrase that can function as either the subject or the object of a sentence. Examples include: Peraturannya sangat ketat (Its regulations are very strict), Saya mengikuti peraturannya (I follow its rules), and Peraturannya berlaku mulai tanggal 1 Januari (The regulations apply starting on January 1). The referent of peraturannya is determined by context, and without prior clarification it may be ambiguous whether the rules belong to a government body, a company, or another entity.

Usage and nuance: The expression is common in formal writing, journalism, and legal or policy discussions, where a specific set of rules is being discussed. It offers a concise alternative to repeating a noun, such as peraturan itu or peraturan organisasi, while signaling a definite, contextually defined collection of rules.

Related terms and scope: The broader regulatory vocabulary includes peraturan perundang-undangan (laws and regulations), peraturan daerah (regional regulations), peraturan pemerintah (government regulations), and peraturan kementerian or peraturan menteri (ministerial regulations). The possessive suffix -nya can attach to other nouns to indicate possession or association in similar ways.

Notes: In everyday speech, speakers may choose less specific forms if the referent is already clear from context.
