melakukannya

Melakukannya is an Indonesian word formed from the verb melakukan, meaning to do or to perform, plus the pronominal object suffix -nya, which translates roughly to “it” or “that.” The result is a phrase that can mean “doing it” or “to do it,” depending on the syntactic role in the sentence.

In use, melakukannya often functions as a noun-like clause or as the object of another verb, referring to a previously mentioned action or task. For example, in Saya tidak suka melakukannya, the phrase means “I don’t like doing it.” In Bagaimana cara melakukannya? it asks “How do you do it?” The suffix -nya helps connect the action to a specific referent established earlier in the discourse.

Morphology and flexibility are characteristic of Indonesian pronoun incorporation. Melakukan is the base verb “to perform” or “to carry out,” while -nya attaches to indicate the object of the action. Because -nya can refer to different antecedents, context is important for clarity. Melakukannya can also function as a subject or complement in a sentence, as in Melakukannya memerlukan waktu (Doing it takes time).

Compared with alternatives, melakukannya emphasizes the action as a concrete task tied to a known referent, whereas simply menggunakan kata kerja tanpa -nya would generalize the act. The construction is widely used in formal and informal Indonesian and can replace longer phrases like “melakukan hal itu” without loss of meaning.

Overall, melakukannya is a common, flexible expression for referring to the act of performing a task, with its precise sense derived from context.
