dipengaruhi

Dipengaruhi is an Indonesian verb in passive voice meaning "to be influenced." It is formed from the root pengaruh (influence) and the causative verb mempengaruhi, with the di- prefix creating the passive form dipengaruhi. In usage, dipengaruhi describes how external factors or other agents affect someone's opinions, decisions, or behavior.

Examples of usage include: Dia dipengaruhi oleh teman-temannya dalam memilih jurusan. Keputusan itu dipengaruhi oleh tekanan dari pihak berwenang. Kebijakan itu dipengaruhi oleh kepentingan politik. Kondisi ekonomi dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi pasokan. These constructions show the influence coming from an external source.

Nuances: dipengaruhi emphasizes external influence rather than the subject’s own agency. It does not inherently carry a negative connotation, but can imply persuasion, coercion, or dependency on external factors. It contrasts with terpengaruh, which simply means "to be affected" without specifying the agent, and with mempengaruhi, the active form meaning "to influence" done by someone. In formal or written Indonesian, dipengaruhi is a common way to attribute a change or outcome to an external influence, whether deliberate or incidental.
