Questions & Answers about Suhu di kantor terlalu dingin malam ini.

Does di mean “in” or “at” here? How is it different from ke and dari?

di marks a static location and can correspond to English in, at, or on, depending on context.

• di kantor = at/in the office (no movement)
• ke kantor = to the office (movement toward)
• dari kantor = from the office (movement away)

Is suhu the best word here? What about temperatur, udara, AC, or cuaca?

• suhu = temperature (neutral/formal; usable for room/air temperature, but sounds a bit technical).
• temperatur = also “temperature,” more formal/technical; less common in everyday speech.
• udara = air; very natural for how the air in a place feels: udara di kantor dingin.
• AC = air conditioner; very common in daily talk: AC di kantor terlalu dingin.
• cuaca = weather; not used for indoor conditions, so avoid it here.

Is suhu … dingin idiomatic? Should it be suhunya terlalu rendah instead?
