Hello! "Bertanya" and "tanya" have same meaning; ask. but in Bahasa Indonesia, "bertanya" usually used like we use "verb-ing", in Indonesian following with "sedang", like "sedang bertanya". Also, in Bahasa, "bertanya" sounds more formal than "tanya".

Hi it's me again.. To answer your question : Yes and No "Tanya" is the root word, and can mean either : - Noun : "Tanya" = question - Verb : "Tanya" = to ask When you add prefix "ber" to the root word "tanya", the word become 100% verb : "To ask". Hope that answered your questions

Tanya = la radice della parola chiedere Menanyakan= chiedere Ditanyakan= stato chieso Bertanya =stare chiedendo Bertanya tanya= starsi domando
