menjamin

Menjamin is an Indonesian verb meaning "to guarantee" or "to assure." It is formed with the prefix me- attached to the root jamin, which carries the sense of guarantee or security. The word is transitive and typically takes a direct object or an object clause, and it is commonly used in formal, legal, commercial, and everyday language.

The root jamin appears in Indonesian and Malay as a noun meaning "guarantee" or "warranty" and is tied to the broader concept of security or assurance. The verb menjamin extends that meaning to the act of guaranteeing something. The word can also be connected to historical borrowings from Arabic through long-standing linguistic contact, which helped shape its usage in modern Indonesian.

Usage examples include: Perusahaan menjamin keamanan data pelanggan. Pemerintah menjamin hak-hak warga negara. Kami menjamin kualitas produk. In addition to the verb, related forms include jaminan (guarantee, warranty or collateral), penjamin (guarantor), and terjamin (guaranteed). In legal and consumer contexts, menjamin and its related forms are common in contracts, policies, and discussions of conditions, safety, or reliability.
