are the situations when ber- cannot be used, or can you use it on any verb?
- Indonesio
like a : bercita cita, bertelur, bertindak, bekerja, bertani, beradik
- Indonesio
ber- cannot be used normally like : berkerja ❌ berlajar ❌
- Inglés (US)
I always thought berlajar was correct. I saw it in a textbook. thank you.

Ber- has two usage. The fist usage is "have" / "wear" if it is paired with a noun.
Dia bermata biru
He has blue eyes
Dia berbaju merah
He wears a red shirt
The second usage is prefix for intransitive verb in active sentence. Like the word "stand":
Aku berdiri
I stand
The allomorph of ber- is bel- and be-
Just like meN- has allomorph too
The correct form are belajar and bekerja
MeN- = intransitive or transitive active sentence
Ber- = intransitive active sentence
So ber- can't be used for transitive verbs.
