diperkuat

Diperkuat is an Indonesian passive verb form meaning “to be strengthened” or “to be reinforced.” It is formed by adding the di- prefix to the causative verb memperkuat, which itself derives from kuat (strong) with a causative meaning. In usage, diperkuat indicates that an external agent or circumstances has increased the strength, durability, or capability of the subject. The agent is typically expressed with oleh or can be omitted when the context makes the source clear.

Diperkuat is commonly found in formal or technical writing, policy reports, and descriptions of infrastructure or systems. Examples include sentences such as jalan tol itu diperkuat dengan konstruksi fondasi tambahan (the toll road was strengthened with additional foundation construction), keamanan nasional diperkuat melalui kebijakan baru, or regulasi lingkungan diperkuat untuk mencegah dampak buruk. The term often appears in discussions of engineering, security, governance, and organizational resilience.

In terms of related forms, dikuatkan and menguatkan are commonly used counterparts. Diperkuat emphasizes that the strengthening has been effected by an external action and reflects a completed or stated state, whereas memperkuat or menguatkan tends to describe the act of strengthening itself, often in active voice. The choice among these forms depends on whether the emphasis is on the action, the result, or the agent responsible for the strengthening.
