tidurnya

Tidurnya is an Indonesian noun phrase formed from the verb tidur (to sleep) with the possessive suffix -nya. It refers to someone’s sleep or to the sleep of something already mentioned, functioning as a nominalized form that can act as the subject or object in a sentence. The phrase can be translated as “his/her/its sleep,” depending on context.

Morphology and usage: The base verb tidur can be nominalized by attaching -nya, producing tidurnya. The -nya suffix marks possession or topicalization and helps anchor the word to a specific person or entity in discourse. As a subject, predicate noun, or object, tidurnya is common in everyday Indonesian.

Examples:

- Tidurnya nyenyak meskipun lampu menyala. (His/her sleep is deep even though the light is on.)

- Tidurnya terganggu oleh bunyi sirene. (His/her sleep was disturbed by the siren.)

- Tidurnya tidak cukup setelah begadang semalam. (His/her sleep was not enough after staying up late.)

Semantic notes: Tidurnya can refer to literal sleep, but in some contexts it may carry metaphorical meaning related to rest, cessation, or the state of a person’s rest at a given time. The exact interpretation depends on surrounding words and discourse.
