mudahkan

Mudahkan is an Indonesian and Malay verb meaning to make something easy or to facilitate. It is a causative form derived from the adjective mudah (easy) by adding the affix -kan, creating a transitive verb that indicates causing ease or simplification for a person or process. In grammar, mudahkan is used to express action that makes another action or situation easier for someone else.

Usage and nuances: Mudahkan is employed in both spoken and written language to request or instruct someone to simplify a task, procedure, or access. It can appear in imperative form, such as Mudahkanlah prosedur ini, or in sentences where the subject facilitates another party, for example Tolong mudahkan proses pendaftaran. The word emphasizes enabling convenience rather than performing the task directly.

Related terms and variation: The synonym mempermudah also means to facilitate or simplify, often used with similar meaning in formal contexts. While mudahkan centers on causing ease, mempermudah is a more common compound form built from mudah with permud- as an alternative causative formation. Both share the same semantic core of reducing difficulty.
