terperinci

Terperinci is an Indonesian and Malay adjective meaning detailed or thoroughly described. It is used to characterize information, explanations, or descriptions that have been expanded to include many particulars, rather than being brief or general. The term conveys a sense of completeness and precision in the presentation of facts, data, or arguments.

Etymology and usage notes: Terperinci is formed with the prefix ter- added to the root rinci or perinci, which carries the sense of detail or meticulous description. The prefix ter- emphasizes a state of being fully or completely so described. In practice, terperinci often appears in formal writing, such as reports, studies, and official explanations. It can also be used to describe a presentation or analysis that leaves few gaps in the information provided.

Context and examples: Common collocations include laporan terperinci (detailed report), penjelasan terperinci (detailed explanation), and kajian terperinci (comprehensive study). In everyday language, speakers may use phrases like sangat rinci or lebih rinci to convey a similar meaning, but terperinci emphasizes thoroughness and precision.

Related terms: rinci (detailed), rincian (detail), laporan (report), kajian (study). Antonyms include ringkas (brief) or tidak rinci (not detailed).

See also: rinci, rincian, laporan terperinci. Terperinci is widely understood in both Indonesian and Malay contexts and remains a common descriptor in formal communication.
