Aturan
A single dash can introduce an explanation or emphasis at the end of a sentence, like a colon. A pair of dashes sets off extra information in the middle.
Satu tanda pisah dapat memperkenalkan penjelasan atau penekanan di akhir kalimat, seperti titik dua. Sepasang tanda pisah mengapit informasi tambahan di tengah kalimat.
✔ Benar: The result surprised everyone—even the researchers.
✘ Salah: The result surprised—everyone even the researchers.
→ Perbaikan: Place the dash after the complete sentence "The result surprised everyone".
Tips: A single dash works like a colon: what comes before it must be a complete sentence.
