teratasi

Teratasi is an Indonesian term describing a condition that has been resolved or brought under control. It is used as a predicative adjective or participle, typically appearing after a subject in phrases such as masalah teratasi or situasi teratasi to indicate that an issue has been dealt with.

Etymology and morphology: The form comes from the root atasi (to overcome, address) with the prefix ter-, which marks a completed state resulting from action. The active counterpart is mengatasi, meaning to overcome or cope with. The predicate teratasi conveys that the overcoming action has already occurred and its effects are present.

Usage: Teratasi is common in news reporting, official statements, and formal writing about problems, disasters, public health, and security. It describes both tangible problems and more abstract situations. Examples: "Masalah logistik teratasi setelah koordinasi antara kementerian dan pihak swasta." "Banjir itu teratasi berkat upaya evakuasi dan rekonstruksi."

Notes: Teratasi is not a noun, but a stative verb form. It belongs to the broader Indonesian system of ter- prefixes that express completed states; related forms include mengatasi (to overcome) and other ter- forms used in similar contexts. The term is widely understood in formal and everyday Indonesian to indicate that a previously challenging condition has been resolved.
