Bentuk & Aturan
Defining relative clause adalah anak kalimat yang memberi informasi penting untuk mengenali kata benda yang dijelaskan. Tanpa anak kalimat ini, makna kalimat menjadi tidak jelas. Karena itu, tidak pakai koma.
Pilih relative pronoun sesuai kata benda yang dijelaskan:
| Relative pronoun | Untuk | Contoh |
|---|---|---|
| who | orang | The woman who leads the team is Sari. |
| which | benda / hewan | The report which I sent is on your desk. |
| that | orang atau benda | The email that arrived is urgent. |
| where | tempat | The room where we meet is on floor 3. |
| whose | kepemilikan (...-nya) | The client whose order was late called. |
Menggabungkan dua kalimat:
| Dua kalimat | Digabung |
|---|---|
| The man called. He is my boss. | The man who called is my boss. |
| I bought a laptop. It is very fast. | The laptop that I bought is very fast. |
| This is the office. I work here. | This is the office where I work. |
Kapan Dipakai
- Mengenali / menentukan orang atau benda mana yang dimaksud:
The employee who speaks English will join the call. (bukan karyawan lain)
- Tempat → pakai where:
That's the warehouse where we store the products.
- Kepemilikan → pakai whose:
He's the manager whose team won the award.
- 'that' / 'which' / 'who' boleh DIHILANGKAN bila menjadi OBJEK dari anak kalimat:
The file (that) I sent you is ready. (boleh tanpa 'that') The client (who) we met is interested. (boleh tanpa 'who')
- TAPI tidak boleh dihilangkan bila menjadi SUBJEK anak kalimat:
The man who called is my boss. (✗ tidak bisa hilang: 'who' subjek dari 'called')
Examples (English)
The colleague who trained me is leaving next month. The supplier that delivers daily is very reliable. This is the room where the interview will take place. The customer whose complaint we received wants a refund.

Dialogue
Finding the right person
Who is the person that handles refunds?
That's Maya, the colleague who sits near the window.
And the client whose order was delayed: did she call back?
Yes, the email she sent is in your inbox.
Kesalahan Umum
- ❌ "The man which called is my boss." → ✅ "The man who (atau that) called is my boss." (orang → who/that, bukan which)
- ❌ "The office which I work is downtown." → ✅ "The office where I work is downtown." (tempat → where)
- ❌ "The client who order was late." → ✅ "The client whose order was late." (kepemilikan → whose)
- ❌ "The man who called him is my boss." → ✅ "The man who called is my boss." (jangan ulang subjek 'he/him' setelah relative pronoun)
