diteliti

Diteliti is an Indonesian passive verb form derived from teliti, meaning to study, examine, or be meticulous. The prefix di- marks passive voice, and the form diteliti conveys meanings such as “has been studied,” “is being studied,” or “is examined.” Because Indonesian verbs do not inflect for tense, the temporal meaning of diteliti is determined by context or time adverbs (sebelumnya, telah, sedang, nanti) and by surrounding verbs.

In usage, diteliti is common in academic, scientific, and journalism contexts to indicate that data, phenomena, or objects have undergone investigation or analysis. The agent performing the study is usually introduced with oleh plus a noun (e.g., oleh para peneliti). Examples include: “Data tersebut telah diteliti oleh tim peneliti,” “Fenomena itu diteliti secara mendalam,” and “Laporan ini diteliti untuk memastikan akurasinya.” The related active form meneliti means to study or investigate (an action performed by a researcher). The noun peneliti means researcher.

Notes: diteliti should not be confused with teliti as an adjective meaning careful; teliti as a verb is active, diteliti is passive; both share the same root. In formal writing, diteliti often appears in results and methods sections to describe what was studied.
