memerinci

Memerinci is an Indonesian verb meaning to detail or itemize, i.e., to present information in a structured way by breaking a subject into its component parts. It is used in formal discourse, such as reports, proposals, and analytical writing, to convey specificity and clarity.

The term derives from rincian, meaning detail, and is formed with the prefix me- to indicate an action performed on an object. The form merinci is more common in everyday usage, while memerinci appears as a variant that emphasizes the act of breaking down into particulars. It connotes a careful, comprehensive breakdown rather than a general description.

In practice, memerinci is used with direct objects that are being expanded or clarified, such as pendapatan, belanja, prosedur, or kebijakan. Example sentences include: "Laporan keuangan memerinci pendapatan dan belanja per bulan." "Peneliti memerinci metodologi eksperimen untuk menjelaskan langkah-langkah teknis." "Kebijakan tersebut memerinci persyaratan dan prosedur operasional." These usages typical in regulatory, academic, or business writing aim to improve transparency and auditability by listing specifics.

See also: merinci, rincian, terperinci, perincian. These related terms cover the broader concepts of detailing, the details themselves, and the extent of detail. Memerinci is one of several ways to express the act of breaking down information for clarity.
