my pleasure ^^
untuk kesekian kalinya maaf merepotkan,,
guru bhs inggris aku said :
Hunbungan jarak jauh itu Relationship of Long distance, (Preposition)
bukan
LDR= berarti yg jauh itu bukan jaraknya tp hubungannya…
klw emang benar knp semua pake kata LDR untuk hubungan jarak jauh….
tolong pencerahannya…..
makasih..
Sama malah seneng ditanya Junior… 😀
long-distance:
“a long-distance relationship” merupakan noun (phrase), dengan “relationship” sebagai head-nya
pengertian “long-distance relationship” (noun) menurut oxford dictionary:
Berdasarkan kamus2 itu, saya tarik kesimpulan kalo uda benar sih, apalagi web2 bahasa Inggris yg establish banyak yang menggunakannya.. 🙂
iya, sih…
dulunya aku juga jwb, LDR itu NounPhrase,
but more important is when I asked something, I got new reference ,and have comparison….
I do really like this
makasih … 🙂
Sama-sama Junior 😀
Saya juga jadi belajar. Sebelumnya terima2 aja tu istilah LDR..
Btw, “a long-distance relationship” memang NP, tapi “long-distance relationship” sy pikir compound noun.
