Hi,

Sorry, but I find this an unclear task.
For example, consider a gift-giving occasion.
You can consider 'gift-giving' as an adjective here, or as a gerund used

Hi Clive,
Actually I am working on my minor thesis about the translation of Hyphenated compound adjective into Indonesian. I take all the data from Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi. I found 300 data on it and some of them are in my previous question. Oh well it is my problem
