berlokasi

Berlokasi is an Indonesian word formed from the prefix ber- and the noun lokasi (location). It functions as an adjective or stative verb meaning “located” or “to be located,” describing where a place or object is situated. It is commonly used to designate the geographical position of buildings, sites, or facilities.

In use, berlokasi is usually followed by di to specify the place. It can serve as the predicate in a sentence: “Hotel X berlokasi di pusat kota.” It can also appear as part of a noun phrase, such as “gedung berlokasi strategis” or “proyek berlokasi di tepi sungai.”

Etymology and register: The word is built from lokasi (location) with the active-prefix ber-. It is widely used across Indonesian writing styles, particularly in real estate, tourism, logistics, and news reporting when stating where something is.

Alternative expressions include terletak di (literally “is located at”) or berada di (situated at); these forms may carry slightly different stylistic nuances but convey similar meaning.

Examples: “Apartemen itu berlokasi di Jalan Merdeka,” “Museum nasional berlokasi di pusat kota, dekat stasiun,” and “Kantor baru berlokasi di kompleks perkantoran.” See also lokasi, terletak, berada, and koordinat for related terms.
