diperbuat

Diperbuat is a Malay word used to indicate that something has been made or manufactured. It is a passive form derived from the verb buat, meaning to make or to do, and is commonly found in formal or descriptive writing.

In use, diperbuat is often paired with phrases such as diperbuat daripada or diperbuat oleh. Dari indicates material (diperbuat daripada kayu means made from wood), while oleh indicates the agent or producer (diperbuat oleh syarikat X means made by company X). In everyday speech, simpler terms like dibuat or dibentuk are more common for ordinary statements.

Diperbuat appears in contexts describing material, origin, or production methods. For example, Barang itu diperbuat daripada logam (The item is made of metal) or Produk ini diperbuat oleh perusahaan lokal (This product was made by a local company). The form is relatively formal and is frequently found in product labels, technical descriptions, legal documents, and classical literature.

Etymology and related forms: diperbuat is formed with the passive marker di- attached to a root related to buat (to make). It is related to other forms such as dibuat (made), pembuatan (manufacture/production), and perbuatan (act/deed). While diperbuat is understood in Indonesian as well, it is more typical in Malay and in formal Malay-language contexts.
