kehadiran

Kehadiran is an Indonesian noun that denotes the state of being present, either physically at a place or in a broader sense of existence. It is derived from hadir, the verb “to be present,” with the nominalizing prefix ke- to form an abstract noun meaning presence or attendance. In everyday language, kehadiran refers to attendance or the degree to which someone or something is present at a given time and place.

In practical use, kehadiran is commonly used to describe attendance at events, meetings, or classes. Examples: kehadiran peserta mencapai seribu orang, or kehadiran siswa hari ini cukup tinggi. The term can also describe presence in a non-physical sense, such as the presence of a deity or a concept at a moment, for instance kehadiran Tuhan or kehadiran solusi. In organizational contexts, kehadiran is often contrasted with absensi, where absensi refers to the absence record or absenteeism; kehadiran emphasizes the fact of being present rather than the tally of absences.

In modern Indonesian usage, kehadiran also appears in phrases about online presence or participation, such as kehadiran publik di media sosial or kehadiran di acara digital. The word is neutral and flexible, suitable for formal and informal contexts.
