Leonardo Di Catmeeow :
Ayam makan only has one meaning: Chicken eats. Ayam dimakan : Chicken is eaten Ayam memakan: Chicken is eating Makan ayam: eats chicken memakan ayam: eats chicken Prepositions and affixes on verbs change the meaning.

it's not Indonesian Riau, but Malay Riau (Melayu Riau) from Indonesia. Indonesian language is derived from Riau dialect, not the vice versa.

We even understand non complete sentences e.g. "jangan diini-inikan sekali lah, apa itu?" which means "Don't be to eh eh too much, what's that, you know.."

Khodijah :
Even Indonesia's national language, Bahasa Indonesia, does not have grammatical tenses. A sentence like "Saya makan nasi" can mean "I ate rice," "I eat rice," or "I will eat rice," depending entirely on the context. The time of the action is indicated simply by adding a time expression. For example: Kemarin saya makan nasi- I ate rice yesterday. Tadi pagi saya makan nasi- I ate rice this morning. Saya sedang makan nasi- I am eating rice. Besok pagi saya akan makan nasi- Iwill eat rice tomorrow morning. In other words, it is the time expression, not a change in the verb itself, that tells you whether the action happened in the past, is happening now, or will happen in the future.

It happens in even in Indonesian language though, especially in informal conversation. Minimized in formal form of the language due to structure.

Monica Gracia :
"ayam makan" in riau's and Medan's dialect can also mean "eat the chicken". Depends on the tone, it can be a suggestion for someone to eat chicken or a command for someone to eat chicken. But "ayam makan", when spoken with an interrogative tone, depending on the context, the meaning then change to "did the chicken eat it's food?" or "has the chicken eaten it's food?" or "should the chicken be fed?". 😩

Zynira :
This is a fascinating linguistic point, but a bit misleading!The "Ayam makan" phenomenon isn't exclusive to Riau—it applies to informal/colloquial Indonesian spoken nationwide.Also, this lack of grammar structures only applies to casual street speech. In Standard Formal Indonesian, we actually have a highly complex system of prefixes and suffixes (e.g., memakan, dimakan, makanan) to establish clear grammar roles. David Gil's claim is heavily debated for overstating this as a unique Riau trait.

BoBo Borak Motosiput :
Wait, isn't riau basically Malay? If so, this language is spoken by not a million, but rather hundreds of millions. I speak this language too. But in formal speak the verb or noun confusion doesn't happen because of grammatical prefixes or suffixes. Only in informal speak do we drop the pre and suffix where context gives more meaning. The best example is not "Ayam Makan" , but rather "goreng pisang" which is often used interchangeably as the act of frying bananas or banana fritters.
