Verb

dimulai

  1. passive/intransitive of memulai

Usage notes

Although this is a passive inflection of "mulai", but in daily use including formal, it can also has an intransitive sense as in the example below:

Acara nya dimulai pada pukul 10.
The event starts at 10 o'clock.

Using the basic form ("mulai") as an intransitive sense is mostly considered informal, so to clarify the intransitive sense while keeping its formality, it is more recommended to use "bermula" instead.
