Hasil latihan hari ini lebih baik daripada minggu lalu.

Hasil means result, outcome, or product.

In this sentence, hasil latihan means the result(s) of the practice/training. Indonesian often uses noun + noun combinations like this, where the first noun is defined by the second:

• hasil latihan = practice results / the result of training
• hasil kerja = work result
• hasil ujian = exam result

So hasil latihan hari ini means today’s practice results.

Latihan can mean practice, exercise, or training, depending on context.

Common uses:

• latihan bahasa = language practice
• latihan sepak bola = football training
• latihan soal = practice questions

In your sentence, latihan is a noun, not a verb. So hasil latihan hari ini means the results of today’s practice/training.

In Indonesian, time expressions often come after the noun or phrase they modify.

So:

• latihan hari ini = today’s practice
• literally: practice today

This is very natural in Indonesian. English often puts the time expression first or uses ’s:

• today’s practice
• the practice today

Indonesian usually does not use an equivalent of ’s here.

This is the standard pattern for comparisons in Indonesian:

• lebih = more
• baik = good / better
• daripada = than

So:

• lebih baik daripada = better than

The full sentence compares two things:

• Hasil latihan hari ini = today’s practice results
• minggu lalu = last week

So the structure is:

A lebih baik daripada B
= A is better than B

Examples:

• Dia lebih tinggi daripada saya. = He is taller than me.
• Cuaca hari ini lebih bagus daripada kemarin. = Today’s weather is better than yesterday’s.

In everyday Indonesian, many speakers do use dari in comparisons, especially in casual speech:

• lebih baik dari minggu lalu

However, daripada is generally considered the clearer and more standard form for than in comparisons.

A useful rule:

• dari often means from
• daripada often means than or rather than

So in careful or standard Indonesian, lebih baik daripada minggu lalu is a very good choice.

Indonesian often leaves out the verb to be in simple statements.

So:

• Hasil latihan hari ini lebih baik daripada minggu lalu. literally looks like:
• Results of practice today more good than last week.

But in natural English, we translate it with is/are:

• Today’s practice results are better than last week’s.

This is very normal in Indonesian. You do not need a separate word for is here.

In Indonesian, lalu meaning last or ago/past usually comes after the time word:

• minggu lalu = last week
• bulan lalu = last month
• tahun lalu = last year

So the order is:

time word + lalu

This is the normal pattern.

Good question—minggu can mean either week or Sunday, depending on context.

But here, minggu lalu clearly means last week, not last Sunday.

Why? Because minggu lalu is a very common expression meaning last week.

If you wanted to clearly say last Sunday, many speakers would say:

• hari Minggu lalu

Note that Minggu as Sunday is often capitalized, while minggu as week is not, although capitalization is not always strictly followed in casual writing.

Indonesian does not usually change adjectives the way English does.

In English:

• good → better

In Indonesian:

• baik = good
• lebih baik = better
• paling baik = best

So lebih + adjective is a very common pattern:

• lebih cepat = faster
• lebih murah = cheaper
• lebih baik = better

It can be understood as either the result or the results, depending on context.

Indonesian nouns usually do not have separate singular and plural forms the way English does. So:

• hasil can mean result or results

The context tells you which sounds more natural in English. In this sentence, English might translate it as:

• Today’s practice result is better than last week’s or
• Today’s practice results are better than last week’s

Both are possible depending on what the speaker means.

Yes. Indonesian word order is flexible in some cases, especially with time expressions.

For example:

• Hasil latihan hari ini lebih baik daripada minggu lalu.
• Hari ini, hasil latihan lebih baik daripada minggu lalu.

Both are natural, but they emphasize things slightly differently.

The original sentence focuses first on the results.
The second version highlights today first.

The original is very straightforward and natural.
