terfokus

Terfokus is an Indonesian term formed from the noun fokus with the affix ter-, which denotes a state or condition. It means “in focus” or “focused” and is used to describe attention, perception, or visual clarity. The prefix ter- signals a state that arises naturally or inherently in the subject, rather than an action performed by someone.

In usage, terfokus is typically used with the preposition pada to specify what is being focused on: terfokus pada tugas, terfokus pada masalah, terfokus pada detail. Related verbs exist, such as memfokuskan (to focus something) and terfokuskan (to be made focused), but terfokus is most often used descriptively as a predicate or modifier.

The term is common in everyday Indonesian, media, and education, where it can describe both cognitive concentration and perceptual sharpness, including the clarity of a camera lens or display. While terfokus emphasizes a state of focus, alternative expressions like fokus or berkonsentrasi can convey similar ideas with slightly different nuances.

Examples:

- Kamera terfokus pada subjek.

- Tim terfokus pada penelitian tersebut.

- Kita perlu tetap terfokus pada tujuan utama.
