Our Indonesian teacher had a take on how we use “Dengan hormat,” (the English equivalent is “Yours faithfully” but we put it in the beginning instead of the end) when we write a formal letter
He stated that in theory:
The comma shouldn’t be used, since it’s not a valid sentence ending
The “D” should not be a capital letter, since it’s not a proper sentence (this also disqualifies using a period to end the phrase)
comments (single view)
The second point makes zero sense lol, it may not be a proper full sentence, but it is still the beginning of one
Well, we also use “di tempat” (translated: “in place”) and not “Di tempat” on the location of the letter destination in cases where we don’t know where the destination of the letter is at
Something like:
Yth. Bpk. Jusuf Edi Kusuma
di tempat
