In general, abstract nouns have
two functions, namely:

first
Be the subject in a sentence.
Example:

(Kesedihannya membuat saya merasa kasihan padanya.)

The word grief above is the subject, because the word makes an action on the
word me.
second
Become an object in a sentence, for example:
Let's build our own happiness.
(Mari kita membangun kebahagiaan kita sendiri.)

The word happiness is a word that is involved in the sentence above,


but the word is not one that does an activity (build), so happiness is
the object of the sentence.
