ditempatkan

Ditempatkan is a Indonesian passive verb form meaning "placed" or "located." It is used to describe something that has been put in a specific place or position by someone, often in a formal or administrative context. The term conveys the result of placing rather than the act itself.

Grammatical formation and usage framing: ditempatkan is formed with the di- prefix indicating passive voice applied to the verb tempatkan, which derives from tempat (place) with the causative suffix -kan. In passive constructions, the agent performing the placing can be omitted or introduced with oleh, depending on emphasis. Ditempatkan tends to appear in official documents, reports, and descriptions of arrangements, locations, or deployments.

Common functions:

- Indicating the location of objects, facilities, or personnel.

- Describing administrative decisions or logistical deployments.

- Appearing in past or ongoing states when paired with telah, sedang, or akan to convey aspect.

Examples:

- Barang itu telah ditempatkan di gudang yang aman.

- Tim bantuan ditempatkan di beberapa lokasi terpencil untuk respons cepat.

- Arsip tersebut telah ditempatkan di bagian arsip nasional sesuai klasifikasi.

Ditempatkan contrasts with active forms that specify the agent, such as menempatkan, which means to place or position something deliberately by someone. The passive ditempatkan emphasizes the result and the location rather than the action’s initiator, making it common in descriptive or formal Indonesian.
