Stative passive

 
   Stative passive is a passive sentence which function of predicate as verb 3 or past participle is altered to be an adjective, such as : the door is broken. The meaning of that example is not “pintu ini dirusak” melainkan “ pintu ini rusak”. Of course it almost similar with passive voice but for function of meaning different. To know stative passive, we can see characteristic of it, like :
  • ·         the past participle functions as an adjective
  • ·         it almost not use by-phrase
  • ·         no action is taking place but the action happened earlier.
from those chracteristics , we can make  some examples like :
  • ·         the door is locked
  • ·         this floor was cleaned
if you have understood about the basic of it , you can modify it with using modal, others tenses and preposition  
for example : the paper can be burned (kertas ini dapat terbakar ).
So, open your mind and you can used your mind to know it.
Okey ,, I think you are still confused about what the difference of stative passive and passive voice. Well, I give you the examples of them, such as :
·         I’m divorced by her (aku diceraikan oleh dia) => passive voice
·         I’m divorced with her (aku bercerai dengan dia) => stative passive
Stative pasive also can be used into idiomatic, such as :
  • ·         I don’t know where I am. I am lost ( aku tidak tahu dimana, aku tersesat)
  • ·         I can’t  find my purse. It is gone (aku tidak dapat menemukan dompetku, dia hilang)
  • ·         I am finished with my work (aku selesai dengan pekerjaanku).
