Usually, in English, there are two definitions to denote measurement ( the noun and its adjective ), for example : length and long or tall ; width and wide or broad . Now, that won't happen in Indonesian Language. There are word used as a noun and also an adjective in Indonesian Language.
For Instance :
Panjang = length and long or tall
Lebar = width and wide or broad
Jauh = distance, far
Berat = weight , heavy
Example sentences :
Berapa panjang kain itu ?
What is the length of the fabric ?
Mereka tahu lebar meja itu
They know the width of the table
Jauh dari sini ke sana adalah 10 km
The distance between here and there are 10 km
