Pengertian dan Penggunaan Complement dan Compliment
Complement dan compliment sama-sama dapat berfungsi sebagai verb (kata kerja) atau noun (kata benda). Kedua kata ini kerap menimbulkan kebingungan karena selain hanya berbeda satu huruf, mereka juga homophone (kata-kata yang terdengar sama namun artinya berbeda).
Sebagai kata kerja complement berarti “to complete” (melengkapi satu sama lain atau melengkapi sehingga menjadi sempurna, lebih baik, atau menarik), sementara compliment berarti “to praise (someone) or to say something nice about someone” (memuji atau mengatakan sesuatu yang baik tentang seseorang).
Baik complement maupun compliment sebagai kata benda memiliki bentuk plural (jamak). Complement bermakna “something goes well with something else or make it complete or appear better” (sesuatu yang cocok bersama atau melengkapi atau membuat tampak lebih baik), sedangkan compliment bermakna “nice things or praise said” (hal menyenangkan atau pujian yang dikatakan).
