dimulainya

Dimulainya is a nominalized form in the Indonesian language that refers to the initiation or commencement of an activity, event, or period. It is built from the verb mulai (to begin) and is formed with the passive prefix di- and the suffix -nya, which marks a definite antecedent or object being discussed. The result is a noun phrase meaning “the start of X” or “the initiation of X,” where X is the noun that follows or that is implied by the context.

In practice, dimulainya is used to highlight when something begins. It often appears with a following noun that denotes what is being started, for example dimulainya program, dimulainya pembangunan, or dimulainya era digital. The phrase can function as the subject or object of a clause, typically introducing a description or evaluation of the event of beginning. For instance: Dimulainya program vaksinasi nasional menandai fase baru penanganan pandemi.

Dimulainya differs from the plain verb dimulai, which simply states that something has begun. Dimulainya carries a nominal sense, focusing on the initiation as a concept or event and commonly appearing in formal, journalistic, or official writing. Alternatives with similar meaning include permulaan (the beginning) or pembukaan (opening), depending on nuance and context.
