dipertemukan

Dipertemukan is a verb in the Indonesian language that denotes being brought together, introduced, or matched through arrangement, circumstance, or mediation. It is the passive form related to the active verb mempertemukan, which means to cause two or more parties to meet or to bring about an encounter. In usage, dipertemukan emphasizes the result that the meeting has occurred and often implies that someone or something played a role in making the encounter happen.

Etymology and morphology wise, dipertemukan combines the passive di- prefix with the causative-derived form pertemukan, yielding a nuance that the meeting was caused or arranged rather than voluntary. This distinguishes dipertemukan from temukan or bertemu, where the emphasis is on the act of meeting itself rather than on being brought to meet.

Common uses include describing introductions facilitated by others (such as a matchmaker or a mediator), meetings arranged by events or networks, or fateful encounters that occurred due to circumstances. The phrase can refer to interpersonal meetings, business partnerships, or any scenario where two or more parties come into contact as a result of external influence.

Examples:

- Mereka dipertemukan melalui sebuah konferensi industri.

- Kedua tim dipertemukan oleh pelatih baru.

- Nasib mempertemukan mereka di kota itu.
