diganti

Diganti is an Indonesian verb form created with the passive prefix di- attached to the root ganti. It conveys that something has been replaced or substituted, or that a replacement has occurred. The meaning can involve physical objects, services, or costs, depending on context.

In grammar, diganti expresses a completed or ongoing state of replacement. The agent performing the replacement is often introduced with oleh, but can be omitted when the context makes the agent clear. Examples: Barang itu diganti. (That item has been replaced.) Barang itu diganti oleh toko. (That item was replaced by the store.) Kenda­raan itu telah diganti dengan yang baru. (The vehicle has been replaced with a new one.)

Usage contexts commonly include repairs, warranties, and administrative processes. In consumer protection or contractual settings, a damaged or defective item may be stated as diganti, indicating the replacement action has taken place or will take place under an agreement or policy. Diganti can also appear in news or official reports to describe a change issued by an authority or company.

Related terms include mengganti (to replace, to substitute) in active voice, pengganti (replacement or substitute), and penggantian (the act of replacing or substitution). Etymologically, diganti derives from the root ganti with the passive di- prefix, contrasting with the active mengganti and the noun forms.

Notes: diganti is primarily a verb in passive voice and is used across formal and informal Indonesian. Its precise nuance depends on context, tense markers (telah, sudah, akan), and whether the agent is specified.
