kolomkolomnya

Kolom-kolomnya is an Indonesian term that refers to the columns of something, such as a table, form, or dataset. It uses the plural reduplication kolom-kolom to indicate multiple columns and the possessive suffix -nya to show ownership by a referenced object. The conventional spelling in standard Indonesian is kolom-kolomnya; kolomkolomnya without a hyphen may appear in informal writing, but kolom-kolomnya is considered the normative form.

Origin and grammar: The root kolom means column. To express plurality in Indonesian, it is common to repeat the noun with a hyphen: kolom-kolom. The possessive suffix -nya attaches to the entire phrase, yielding kolom-kolomnya, meaning “its columns” or “the columns of it.” The precise antecedent can be explicit (the table, form, or dataset being discussed) or understood from context.

Usage: Kolom-kolomnya appears in technical writing, manuals, data reports, and spreadsheets when referring to the set of columns belonging to a specific item. Examples include: “Tabel ini memiliki kolom-kolomnya yang relevan untuk analisis,” and “Kolom-kolomnya belum terisi semua.” The phrase can describe columns in tables, databases, or charts, and may be used to discuss data organization or data entry requirements.

Style and alternatives: In formal contexts, writers may choose clearer phrasing such as kolom-kolom milik tabel tertentu or kolom-kolom pada tabel tersebut to avoid ambiguity. Related terms include kolom (column) and baris (row). Kolom-kolomnya remains a concise way to reference multiple columns owned by a specific object.
