ajarannya

Ajarannya is a nominal possessive form in Indonesian that refers to the teachings or lessons associated with a person, group, or institution. The base word is ajaran, meaning teaching or lesson, derived from ajar, to teach. The suffix -nya marks attribution to a third person or a previously mentioned subject, yielding ajarannya as “its/his/her teaching” or, in context, “that person’s teachings.” It is commonly used to refer to the body of teachings rather than a single discrete lesson.

In use, ajarannya can function as the subject or object of a sentence. For example: Ajarannya menekankan disiplin. (His teachings emphasize discipline.) Saya mengikuti ajarannya. (I follow his teachings.) Tidak setuju dengan ajarannya. (I do not agree with his teachings.) The phrase often appears in discussions of philosophy, religion, pedagogy, or organizational guidance, where a leader’s or institution’s principles are summarized as ajaran.

Plural and related forms exist to express multiple teachings. The plural form is ajaran-ajaran, as in ajaran-ajaran mereka (their teachings). When referring to the teachings of a specific individual, the possessive form can be extended to ajaran-ajarannya (their/his/her teachings) depending on the subject.
