Perjalanan ke Magelang

Minggu sore 27 Juli 2008 saya berangkat ke Magelang setelah sebelumnya menginap di Yogya selama 5 hari. Kebetulan saudara saya ada yang tinggal di Magelang, tepatnya di kompleks perumahan tentara tak jauh dari lokasi Akademi Militer. Udaranya begitu dingin karena daerah ini dikelilingi oleh beberapa gunung. Ketika berjalan-jalan keliling kompleks, saya sempat memotret pemandangan gunung dengan kamera HP saya. Pemandangan begitu indah walaupun gunung tidak tampak jelas karena diselimuti oleh kabut sore.

Magelang berada di wilayah Provinsi Jawa Tengah dan posisinya terletak di perbatasan Jawa Tengah dengan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Di dunia pendidikan, kota ini sangat terkenal dengan Akademi Militer-nya yang telah melahirkan para perwira tangguh. Selain itu terdapat juga sekolah yang sangat terkenal yaitu SMA Taruna Nusantara.


Selain menikmati pemandangan yang indah, saya beserta keluarga juga sempat mengunjungi tempat wisata Kyai Langgeng yang sangat indah dan terkenal. Pengunjung begitu ramai karena hari itu adalah hari libur nasional (30 Juli 2008). Setelah puas menikmati suasana tempat wisata tersebut, kami pun pulang. Sore harinya kami kembali ke Yogyakarta.

Perjalanan ke Yogya

Selasa 22 Juli 2008 pukul 14.15 pesawat Lion Air membawa saya beserta para penumpang lainnya ke Jakarta. Tujuan perjalanan saya adalah Yogya. Namun, saya harus transit terlebih dahulu di Jakarta. Perjalanan dari Palembang ke Jakarta ditempuh dalam waktu 50 menit. Selama masa transit di Jakarta, saya memanfaatkan waktu untuk menelpon saudara-saudara dan teman saya. Lalu saya menyalakan laptop, mencoba mencari hotspot untuk sekadar melihat-lihat blog. Tapi saya kecewa sekali karena sinyal hotspot yang saya terima sangat lemah sehingga saya gagal melakukan koneksi. Ini berbeda sekali ketika saya menunggu pesawat di ruang tunggu bandara di Palembang. Sinyal hotspot sangat kuat dan saya bisa browsing sembari menantikan waktu keberangkatan.

Pukul 17.00 saya sudah berada di dalam pesawat yang akan membawa para penumpang ke Yogya. Perjalanan udara dari Palembang ke Yogya ini sangat lancar. Tidak ada halangan apapun. Apalagi cuaca sangat cerah. Dari dalam pesawat saya bisa melihat gumpalan-gumpalan awan putih di bawah.

Lima puluh menit kemudian pesawat sudah tiba di Bandara Adi Sutjipto Yogyakarta. Saudara-saudara saya beserta keponakan-keponakan saya sudah menunggu di ruang tunggu bandara tersebut. Ah… akhirnya saya berada di Yogya lagi! Sudah 7 tahun tidak mengunjungi Yogya. Sebelumnya saya telah beberapa kali datang ke Daerah Istimewa ini.

Senang sekali rasanya bisa bertemu dan berkumpul kembali bersama saudara-saudara dan keponakan-keponakan. Kami berbincang, bercanda, dan bernyanyi. Kami juga sempat melihat beberapa sudut daerah Yogyakarta. Banyak sekali perubahan yang terjadi dibandingkan 7 tahun yang lalu.

Minggu 27 Juli 2008 kami mengunjungi Pantai Parang Tritis atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Paris. Pada awalnya saya bingung ketika keponakan saya mengajak saya ke Paris. Saya belum nyambung. Akhirnya keponakan saya menjelaskan bahwa Paris itu singkatan dari Parang Tritis. Macam-macam saja! Kalau di Palembang Paris berarti ‘parak sinilah’ (atau dalam bahasa Indonesia ‘dekat sinilah’). Di Pantai Parang Tritis ini saya bisa melihat ombak besar bergulung-gulung. Selama ini saya cuma bisa menyaksikan ombak Parang Tritis di televisi. Gundukan-gundukan pasir ada di sana-sini. Anak-anak, termasuk keponakan saya, bermain-main di pantai sehingga tubuhnya basah dan kotor karena dipenuhi pasir. Pantai Parang Tritis adalah salah satu objek wisata yang potensial. Tapi sayangnya… menurut saya tempat wisata ini belum dikelola dengan baik. Peran pemerintah daerah sangat diperlukan agar tempat wisata ini terlihat lebih indah dan rapi.

Yang Benar Anarkis atau Anarkistis?

Dalam berbahasa, kata anarkis tampaknya lebih banyak digunakan daripada kata anarkistis. Kedua kata itu, sering kali digunakan dalam pengertian yang tertukar. Sebagai contoh, perhatikan kalimat berikut.
Para demonstran diharapkan tidak melakukan tindakan yang anarkis.
Kata anarkis pada kalimat itu tidak tepat. Untuk mengetahui hal itu, kita perlu memahami pengertian kata anarkis.

Kata anarkis anarchist berkelas nomina dan bermakna 'penganjur (penganut) paham anarkis' atau 'orang yang melakukan tindakan anarki'.
Dari pengertian tersebut ternyata kata anarkis bermakna 'pelaku', bukan 'sifat anarki'. Padahal, kata yang diperlukan dalam kalimat tersebut adalah kata sifat untuk melambangkan konsep 'bersifat anarki'.
Dalam hal ini, kata yang menyatakan 'sifat anarki' adalah anarkistis, bukan anarkis.

Kata anarkis sejalan dengan linguis 'ahli bahasa' atau pianis 'pemain piano' sedangkan anarkistis sejalan dengan optimistis 'bersifat optimis' dan pesimistis 'bersifat pesimis'.
Dengan demikian, kata anarkis pada kalimat tersebut lebih baik diganti dengan kata anarkistis sehingga kalimatnya menjadi sebagai berikut.
Para demonstran diharapkan tidak melakukan tindakan yang anarkistis.

Lalu, bagaimanakah penggunaan kata anarkis yang tepat?
Sebagaimana yang telah disebutkan di atas, kata anarkis bermakna 'pelaku', yaitu 'orang yang melakukan tindakan anarki'. Oleh karena itu, penggunaannya yang tepat adalah untuk menyatakan 'pelaku' atau 'orang yang melakukan tindakan anarki'.
Contohnya dapat disimak pada kalimat berikut.
Pemerintah mengingatkan masyarakat agar tidak berlaku sebagai anarkis dalam melakukan unjuk rasa.

Perlu pula diketahui kata anarki bermakna (1) hal tidak adanya pemerintahan, undang-undang, peraturan, atau ketertiban';(2)'kekacauan (dalam suatu negara)'.
Anarkisme bermakna 'ajaran (paham) yang menentang setiap kekuatan negara; teori politik yang tidak menyukai adanya pemerintahan dalam undang-undang'.

Jam dan Pukul

Kata jam dan pukul masing-masing mempunyai makna sendiri, yang berbeda satu sama lain. Hanya saja, sering kali pemakaian bahasa kurang cermat dalam menggunakan kedua kata itu sehingga tidak jarang digunakan dengan maksud yang sama.

Kata jam menunjukkan makna 'masa atau jangka waktu', sedangkan kata pukul mengandung pengertian 'saat atau waktu'. Dengan demikian, jika maksud yang ingin diungkapkan adalah 'waktu atau saat', kata yang tepat digunakan adalah pukul, seperti pada contoh berikut.
Rapat itu akan dimulai pada pukul 10.00

Sebaliknya, jika yang ingin diungkapkan itu 'masa' atau 'jangka waktu', kata yang tepat digunakan adalah jam, seperti pada kalimat contoh berikut.
Kami bekerja selama delapan jam sehari

Selain digunakan untuk menyatakan arti 'masa' atau jangka waktu', kata jam juga berarti 'benda penunjuk waktu' atau 'arloji', seperti pada kata jam dinding atau jam tangan.

Menyolok atau Mencolok?

Kata menyolok dan mencolok sama-sama sering digunakan oleh pemakai bahasa Indonesia. Meskipun demikian, di antara keduanyahanya satu bentukan yang sesuai dengan kaidah pembentukan kata bahasa Indonesia.

Untuk mengetahui bentukan kata yang benar, kita perlu mengetahui kata dasar dari bentukan itu. Untuk itu, kita dapat memeriksanya di dalam kamus.

Dalam kamus bahasa Indonesia, terutama Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, ternyata hanya ada kata dasar colok. Tampaknya, perbedaan bentukan kata itu timbul karena adanya perbedaan pemahaman mengenai proses terjadinya bentukan kata itu.

Sesuai dengan kaidah, kata dasar yang berawal dengan fonem /c/, jika mendapat imbuhan me-, bentukannya menjadi mencolok, bukan menyolok, karena fonem /c/ pada awal kata dasar tidak luluh. Dengan demikian, dalam bahasa Indonesia bentuk kata yang baku adalah mencolok bukan menyolok.

Pemirsa atau Pirsawan?

Kata pirsa jika diberi imbuhan pe- menjadi pemirsa. Kata pirsa (berkategori verba) berasal dari bahasa daerah yang berarti 'tahu' atau 'melihat'.
Prefiks pe- (bertalian dengan prefiks verbal me-) di dalam bahasa Indonesia, antara lain, mengandung makna 'orang yang me-' atau 'orang yang melakukan'.
Kata pemirsa, berarti 'orang yang melihat atau mengetahui'. Kata itu kemudian digunakan sebagai istilah di dalam media massa elektronik, khusunya televisi, yang secara khusus diberi makna 'orang yang menonton atau melihat siaran televisi atau penonton televisi'.
Kata pirsawan sebaiknya dihindari sebab kata itu dibentuk dari kata dasar verba pirsa dan imbuhan -wan, yang merupakan bentukan kata yang tidak lazim.
Imbuhan -wan lazim dilekatkan pada kata dasar yang berupa nomina rupa-->rupawan, harta--> hartawan; atau dilekatkan pada adjektiva, seperti setia-->setiawan.
