tempelkan

Tempelkan is an Indonesian verb meaning to paste or affix something onto a surface. It is formed from the root tempel (to stick, glue) with the causative suffix -kan, producing a form that expresses causing an action of pasting. The sense covers both physical adhesion—using glue, tape, or other materials—and figurative or digital insertion, such as inserting text or images into a document or field.

In everyday usage, tempelkan refers to placing something onto another item, for example: Tempelkan stiker di buku catatan; Tempelkan label pada kemasan; Pastikan permukaan bersih sebelum menempel. The expression is also common in instructions and manuals that involve attaching items or materials.

In computing and digital contexts, tempelkan is used for the paste action: Tempelkan teks ke dokumen, Tempelkan gambar dari clipboard. It is frequently presented as Tempelkan or Tempelkan teks in Indonesian-language user interfaces; its counterparts in the clipboard workflow are salin (copy) and potong (cut).

Usually, the verb has related forms such as menempelkan (the active form, meaning to cause something to be stuck) and menempel (to be affixed or to cling). In everyday language, tempelkan and its variants are used across physical, administrative, and digital contexts to describe attaching, sticking, or inserting content.
