menyisip

Menyisip is a Malay-Indonesian verb meaning to insert, intersperse, or slip something into another thing. It is used when placing an element into a sequence, text, or space, such as inserting a word, a detail, or an item into a larger whole. In editorial and linguistic contexts, the related form menyisipkan is the common usage; the shorter base form menyisip may appear in older texts or as part of derivational forms, but menyisipkan is the standard in contemporary writing.

Noun forms related to the action include sisipan, meaning an inserted element or inset, and penyisipan, meaning the act of inserting or interpolation. These terms are used to refer to additions made within a text, list, or discourse. The concept often carries the nuance of placing something in between existing parts rather than replacing them.

Usage examples: Penulis menyisipkan kutipan sastra di antara paragraf. Pembicara menyisipkan humor di sela-sela pembicaraan. Analisis menunjukkan ada sisipan data yang penting. In general, menyisipkan is used for deliberate additions in writing or speech, while sisipan refers to the inserted item itself and penyisipan to the act of inserting.
