hidupmu

Hidupmu is an Indonesian term meaning "your life." It is the second-person singular possessive form of hidup (life) formed with the clitic -mu, which marks possession by the person being addressed. As a determiner or noun phrase, hidupmu can function in various sentence types: as in "Hidupmu berubah setelah pindah ke kota itu" (Your life changed after moving to that city) or "Apa rencana untuk hidupmu ke depan?" (What are your plans for your life going forward?). In formal writing or polite speech, the corresponding form is hidup Anda.

Origin and grammar: Indonesian possessive clitics attach to nouns without changing word order: mu (= your), ku (= my), nya (= his/her/its). The construction is straightforward and does not require a separate possessive pronoun from the noun, making hidupmu a common and flexible expression in everyday language.

Usage and nuance: Hidupmu is common in everyday conversation, social media, and popular media. It can convey concern, motivation, or inquiry about someone's personal life or life choices; the tone depends on context and the pronoun level (mu versus Anda). In formal or respectful contexts, speakers typically use hidup Anda instead of hidupmu.
