In formal Indonesian verbal morphology, how does the suffix '-kan' primarily differ from the suffix '-i' when attached to a transitive root verb?

Suffix '-kan' is strictly reserved for informal spoken Indonesian, while '-i' is used exclusively in literary texts. Suffix '-kan' converts a verb into a passive noun, whereas '-i' forms an imperative adjective. Suffix '-kan' generally indicates a causative action or moving an object toward a goal, whereas '-i' denotes a locative target or repeated/iterative action on a stationary recipient. Suffix '-kan' indicates past tense, whereas '-i' indicates continuous future aspect.

Suffix '-kan' generally indicates a causative action or moving an object toward a goal, whereas '-i' denotes a locative target or repeated/iterative action on a stationary recipient.
