tergabung

Ter gabung is an Indonesian term used as an adjective to describe something that has been joined or merged. It is formed from the verb gabung (to join) with the prefix ter-, which in Indonesian often marks a state resulting from a previous action. Therefore, tergabung denotes a status of being joined or consolidated, rather than the act of joining itself.

In everyday and formal usage, tergabung commonly appears in references to organizations, units, or systems that have become part of a larger entity. Examples include: "perusahaan tergabung setelah merger" or "kelompok tergabung dalam satu badan usaha." The word can describe entities such as companies, divisions, or programs that are now part of a broader organization. When describing the process or action of merging, Indonesian typically uses verbs such as menggabungkan (to merge) or bergabung (to join).

Nuance and grammar: tergabung emphasizes the resulting state rather than the action. If the intention is to convey the act of merging, it is more natural to use verbs like menggabungkan or bergabung in active constructions. For example, one might say "perusahaan menggabungkan beberapa unit" rather than relying on tergabung to imply the action.

Related terms include gabungan (a noun meaning a union or combination), bergabung (to join or affiliate, often describing participation), and tergabung (affiliated or part of something). Ter gabung thus functions as a descriptor of status, commonly found in business, organizational, or technical contexts.
