dimuat

Dimuat is an Indonesian verb form that marks the passive voice of muat. The root muat encompasses senses such as to load, to contain, and in media language, to publish. When used as dimuat, the action is performed on the subject by an unspecified agent; the agent can be stated with oleh.

The di- prefix signals a passive construction, and dimuat is used across contexts where the emphasis is on the result of loading or publishing rather than on who did it. It can refer to physical loading of goods or to publishing content in a publication or on a website. For example, Berita itu dimuat di koran berarti the news was published in the newspaper; Barang itu dimuat ke dalam kapal means the goods were loaded into the ship. In media language, dimuat often indicates that an article or image has been included or released by the publication, as in Artikel ini dimuat di situs berita.

The active counterpart is memuat, meaning to load or to publish in a more agent-focused sense. Dimuat and memuat thus form a contrast between the passive result and the active action. In formal writing, dimuat can be combined with telah or telah dimuat to stress completion, as in Berita tersebut telah dimuat.

In summary, dimuat functions as the standard Indonesian passive form of muat, used for both physical loading and for the publication or inclusion of content, with the focus on the result rather than the doer.
