  1. junior  

    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..

    1. Wilma Yulia  

      Sama malah seneng ditanya Junior… 😀

      long-distance:

      separated by a long distance

      [adjective (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/long-distance)]

      “a long-distance relationship” merupakan noun (phrase), dengan “relationship” sebagai head-nya

      pengertian “long-distance relationship” (noun) menurut oxford dictionary:

      A romantic relationship between two people who live far apart and so are unable to meet on a frequent basis

      (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/long-distance-relationship)

      Berdasarkan kamus2 itu, saya tarik kesimpulan kalo uda benar sih, apalagi web2 bahasa Inggris yg establish banyak yang menggunakannya.. 🙂

    2. junior  

      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 … 🙂

    3. Wilma Yulia  

      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.
