This paper presents applicative constructions in Javanese Dialect of Kudus (or JDK for short). For Kudus people, Indonesian has become the favored language and JDK is considered inferior. This situation discourages the study of dialect.

The results indicate the existence of two constructions, one marked by –i and one marked by either standard –(a)ke or dialectal –na. Generally–i occurs more frequently than –na and –(a)ke, but the relative prominence of the other two markers –naand –(a)ke is not consistent.
