kejadiankejadian

Kejadiankejadian is a term used in Indonesian to refer to the set or sequence of events that occur. It is not a standard dictionary entry in formal Indonesian, and its most common form in everyday usage is the hyphenated kejadian-kejadian to indicate multiple incidents. When written as kejadiankejadian, the phrase appears as a nonstandard compound that may be used for stylistic purposes, such as in headlines or literary texts, to emphasize a chain of events or a broad pattern of occurrences.

Etymology and morphology: The word kejadian means an event or occurrence. The suffix -an nominalizes a verb or a root, producing a noun related to the act of happening. Indonesian frequently employs reduplication or compound formation to convey plurality or repetition. Kejadian-kejadian uses reduplication to signal multiple events; kejadiankejadian, by contrast, is a concatenation that may aim for a compact, generalized reference to many events but is less common and can be ambiguous in formal writing.

Usage and alternatives: In standard prose, it is more natural to usekejadian-kejadian, kumpulan kejadian, or serangkaian kejadian to refer to multiple incidents. Kejadiankejadian is typically found in headlines, slogans, or creative writing where a concise, emphatic tone is desired. Clear communication often favors explicit phrases such as “berbagai kejadian,” “berkembangnya berbagai kejadian,” or “rangkaian kejadian.”
