nilainya

Nilai is a word used in Indonesian and Malay that generally means value, worth, or a numerical grade. Nilainya is the possessive form formed with the third-person pronoun -nya, and it is used to indicate the value, score, or merit of a thing or person. Depending on context, nilainya can refer to a numerical grade, the market or intrinsic value of an item, or a more abstract moral or qualitative value.

Grammatically, nilai is a common noun, and attaching -nya yields nilainya, meaning “its value,” “his value,” or “her value.” The form does not change beyond the addition of -nya. Other possessive forms include nilaimu (your value) and nilainya (his/her/its value) in different contexts. In sentences, examples include Nilainya tinggi (Its value is high) or Nilainya rendah (Its value is low). In educational contexts, you might see Nilainya 88, meaning the score.

Usage spans several domains. In education, nilai usually refers to examination marks or grades, while in economics it can denote market or intrinsic value, as in nilai tukar (exchange rate) or nilai barang (value of goods). In social and cultural discussions, nilai can mean moral or cultural values, and nilai-nilai is used to speak of multiple values or ideals.
