Questions & Answers about Kucing kamu akan tidur di kamar.
What does kucing kamu mean in this sentence?
Kucing kamu literally translates as cat you, but it functions as the possessive form meaning your cat. Indonesian often places the noun before its possessor rather than using a separate possessive marker.
What role does akan play in the sentence?
Akan is a future marker. It indicates that the action, in this case tidur (to sleep), is going to occur in the future—similar to how will is used in English.
How is location indicated in this sentence given that there is no article before kamar?
The phrase di kamar means "in room." Indonesian does not use articles like a or the, so context tells you whether the room is specific or generic. Here, di works as the preposition meaning "in" or "at," and kamar means "room."
Why is the possessive expressed as separate words (kucing kamu) instead of an attached form?
Both kucing kamu and the attached form kucingmu are acceptable in Indonesian. In this sentence, the possessor is written as a separate word, which can be easier for beginners to recognize as a two-part structure—first the noun (kucing) followed by the pronoun (kamu).
