Can I say bold mulai dari pagi ini bold instead of bold mulai pagi ini bold?
You’ll hear bold mulai dari bold, but with times/dates many speakers consider bold dari bold unnecessary. Bold Mulai pagi ini bold is crisper. Bold Mulai dari bold is more common with ranges like prices or numbers (e.g., bold Harga mulai dari Rp50.000 bold). It’s not “wrong” with time, just wordier.
