Questions & Answers about Dia suka minum teh di pagi hari setiap hari.
Why do we use dia rather than specifying if the person is male or female?
In Indonesian, dia can mean "he," "she," or even "they" in a singular sense. It doesn’t distinguish gender or number in the same way English does, so you just use dia for any third-person singular subject.
Why does the sentence say di pagi hari instead of just pagi hari or di pagi?
In Indonesian, using di pagi hari helps emphasize the specific time of day you're talking about. You could say pada pagi hari as well, but di pagi hari is a very common way to talk about morning time in everyday speech.
Is setiap hari adding extra emphasis, or is it necessary?
Setiap hari literally means "every day." It emphasizes that the person does this activity daily without exception. You could omit it if you only wanted to say "in the morning," but including setiap hari underlines the routine.
Could I say meminum instead of minum?
Yes, meminum is the formal or more complete verb form. However, in everyday Indonesian, minum is perfectly acceptable and is more common. Both forms convey the idea of "to drink."
What if I just said Dia suka minum teh setiap hari without di pagi hari?
That would still mean "He/She likes to drink tea every day," but you’d lose the time-of-day detail. The phrase di pagi hari specifically indicates that this habit occurs in the morning.
