Questions & Answers about Kos yang mana yang perabotnya lengkap dan dekat kampus?
What does kos mean here?
In Indonesian, kos usually means a rented room or boarding house, especially the kind used by students or young workers. It comes from indekos.
So in this sentence, kos does not mean cost. It refers to a place to live.
Depending on context, kos can mean:
- a single rented room
- a boarding house / rooming house
- a rental place in general
Because the sentence also mentions being near campus, it strongly suggests student housing.
Why does the sentence have two yang words?
The two yang words do different jobs.
- yang mana = which one
- the second yang introduces a clause that describes kos
So the structure is roughly:
- Kos yang mana = which boarding house
- yang perabotnya lengkap dan dekat kampus = that has complete furnishings and is near campus
A very literal breakdown would be:
Kos / yang mana / yang perabotnya lengkap dan dekat kampus?
Boarding house / which one / whose furnishings are complete and near campus?
So the repetition is not random; each yang has a separate function.
Is yang mana the normal way to say which?
