menghambatkan

Menghambatkan is a Malay word that translates to "to hinder," "to obstruct," "to impede," or "to slow down." It describes the act of causing something to progress less quickly or to stop altogether. The term can be applied in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a physical sense, menghambatkan can refer to actions that impede movement. For example, a fallen tree menghambatkan traffic on a road, or a strong current menghambatkan the progress of a boat. It implies the creation of an obstacle that makes forward motion difficult.

Figuratively, menghambatkan is often used to describe things that slow down or prevent development, progress, or achievement. This could include bureaucratic processes that menghambatkan innovation, lack of resources that menghambatkan a project, or even personal habits that menghambatkan one's own success. The core idea remains the same: something is actively preventing or delaying what would otherwise happen more smoothly or quickly.

The opposite of menghambatkan would be actions that facilitate or accelerate progress. Understanding menghambatkan helps to identify factors that hinder positive change or movement, allowing for strategies to overcome these impediments.
