dituangkan

Dituangkan is an Indonesian verb form derived from the root tuang, meaning to pour. It is created by adding the passive prefix di- and the applicative suffix -kan, producing a word that functions as a passive-past participle meaning “poured” or “to be poured out.” The construction emphasizes the action performed on the patient (the liquid or content) and typically leaves the agent performing the action unnamed.

In usage, dituangkan is used to describe liquids or substances being poured into or out of containers, often in cooking, instructions, or descriptive prose. It denotes a completed or resulting state of the pouring action rather than the agent who performed it. The form can appear in sentences where the emphasis is on the outcome rather than the doer.

Examples:

- Air dituangkan ke dalam gelas. (Water is poured into the glass.)

- Minyak dituangkan dari botol ke dalam panci. (The oil is poured from the bottle into the pan.)

Dituangkan may also appear in formal or instructional writing to convey a process or procedure where the focus is on the transfer of contents. It is comparable to other passive forms in Indonesian that describe actions done to a patient, providing a neutral, objective tone suitable for manuals, labels, and descriptive text.
