Toko itu menerima tukar tambah.

Literally, itu means that. So toko itu is literally that shop.

In real Indonesian, though, itu often also helps mark something as specific/known from context, so it can sometimes feel a bit like English the. In this sentence, toko itu could be understood as:

• that shop
• the shop (if the shop is already known in the conversation)

So the basic meaning is still that, but its function is often broader than English that.

In Indonesian, demonstratives like ini (this) and itu (that) usually come after the noun:

• toko ini = this shop
• toko itu = that shop

This is normal Indonesian word order. English speakers often expect that shop, but Indonesian says shop that.

Menerima means to receive or to accept.

In this sentence, menerima is best translated as accepts:

• Toko itu menerima tukar tambah.
• That shop accepts trade-ins.

So here menerima is not about physically receiving something in a neutral sense; it means the shop is willing to accept that type of transaction.

It is written as two words: tukar tambah.

As an expression, tukar tambah refers to a trade-in arrangement: you give an old item and add money to get a new one, or more generally you exchange an old item as part of the purchase.

For example, with phones, cars, or electronics, tukar tambah usually means:

• give your old item to the seller
• get credit for it
• pay the difference for the new item

So in this sentence, menerima tukar tambah means accepts trade-ins.

In this sentence, tukar tambah behaves like the object of menerima, so it is functioning more like a noun phrase or a fixed expression meaning trade-in(s).

Structure:

• Toko itu = subject
• menerima = verb
• tukar tambah = object

So the sentence pattern is basically:

• The shop
  • accepts
    • trade-ins

That said, in everyday Indonesian, tukar tambah can also be used more flexibly, almost like a verbal expression:

• Saya mau tukar tambah motor saya.
• I want to trade in my motorcycle.

So its role depends on the sentence.

It does not have to. Indonesian often leaves things general when the exact item is not important or is already understood from context.

So Toko itu menerima tukar tambah simply means:

• the shop accepts trade-ins
• the shop has a trade-in program

It does not need to specify the item.

If you want to be more specific, you can add more information, for example:

• Toko itu menerima tukar tambah ponsel.
  That shop accepts phone trade-ins.

But the shorter sentence is perfectly natural.

Usually, yes. The expression tukar tambah commonly implies trading something in and adding extra money to get something else, especially a newer or more expensive item.

So it is not just a simple swap. It often suggests:

• old item + extra payment
• in exchange for a new item

However, in actual commercial language, people may use it a little loosely for trade-in deals in general.

You could, but accepts trade-ins sounds more natural in English.

Why?

Because menerima can mean both receive and accept, but in business contexts like this, English usually says:

• accepts trade-ins
• offers trade-ins
• takes trade-ins

So receives trade-ins is understandable, but less idiomatic.

Tukar by itself means exchange or swap.

Examples:

• tukar barang = exchange goods
• menukar uang = exchange money

Tukar tambah is a more specific expression meaning trade in an old item and add money.

So:

• tukar = exchange in general
• tukar tambah = trade-in arrangement

They are related, but tukar tambah is more specific and very common in sales contexts.

Yes, but it changes the nuance a little.

• Toko itu menerima tukar tambah = The shop accepts trade-ins / has a trade-in policy.
• Toko itu menerima barang tukar tambah = The shop accepts trade-in goods/items.

The original sentence sounds more natural if you are talking about the service or policy. Adding barang shifts the focus toward the items themselves.

So for a sign, advertisement, or general statement, menerima tukar tambah is very natural.

Yes, people really say this. It is a normal, practical expression, especially in:

• shops
• advertisements
• marketplace listings
• electronics or vehicle sales

It sounds natural and common, especially in commercial Indonesian.

You might see similar phrases like:

• Menerima tukar tambah
• Bisa tukar tambah
• Melayani tukar tambah

All of these relate to offering or accepting trade-ins.

Yes. Itu can absolutely have a literal pointing sense: that one.

So depending on context, toko itu may mean:

• that shop (physically pointed out)
• that particular shop
• the shop (already known in conversation)

Indonesian often relies on context, so itu can be more flexible than a beginner might expect.
