"Disukai dia" atau "dia sukai"?
Hello all, I want to ask a question. When using the passive voice with a 3rd person subject (except for mereka), is it necessary to always use the "di" passive verbs? For example, if I want to say "This is something he/she/my friend/etc. likes", would I have to say "Ini sesuatu yang disukai dia/temanku", or could I also say "Ini sesuatu yang dia/temanku suka"? I know with "you" and "me" this form is okay, and with "mereka" it is optional.

Hi Adam, it is not necessary to use the "di" prefix. You can say both of those sentences.
However, the first sentence needs correction. Although "disukai dia" is understandable, this phrase is uncommon. In passive sentence, use "-nya" instead "dia". It will be "disukainya". Optionally, you can add word "oleh" so it will be "disukai olehnya", they have same meaning (liked by him).

Hi Adam.
I gotta say no, it is not necessary to use "di" since the sentences are not a passive form.
Both of those can be used and are understandable.
This is something he likes
- Ini sesuatu yang disukainya (literally: This is something liked by him)
- Ini sesuatu yang dia sukai
This is something he bought
- Ini sesuatu yang dibelinya (literally: This is something bought by him)
- Ini sesuatu yang dia beli
Terima kasih, semoga membantu :-)

俞正声说：“汪弋鸢不说日语也能上班。”
人家为什么要说外语？人家家里人是领导，比你们老干部大的，你要问他说谁？他说是俞正声。她为什么能说你呢，因为你考试作弊，进不了上外，她是货真价实能去做日语翻译的，比你专业。她学一学周洪波，到你家附近找你，因为你是男的，她是女的，你有不用找男人。你问俞正声是不是？他又不用帮你们老干部，你们家的人惨了，捣浆糊，她说你学了说了等于白做，最后变成不会说话的人。我们讲的不对啊？你说日本人话啊，我们为什么要学你？我们有钱有房

I hope this is help you.
1st person singular = I = Aku , prefix"ku"
1st person plural = We = Kami, Kita there is no prefix for kami and kita
example :
- this is our book, Jane. Ini buku (milik) kita, Jane.
2nd person singular = You, prefix "mu"
2nd person plural = Kalian , and there is no prefix for "Kalian"
3rd person singular = He/She = Dia , prefix "nya"
3rd person plural = They = Mereka , i think you should use "mereka"
example :
This book belongs them
Buku ini milik mereka
