Kucing saya tidur di pojok kamar.

In Indonesian, possession is usually shown by putting the possessor after the noun.

• kucing saya = my cat
• literally, it is closer to cat my

This is normal Indonesian word order:

• rumah saya = my house
• teman saya = my friend

So kucing saya is the standard way to say my cat.

In this sentence, kucing saya naturally means my cat.

However, in some contexts, Indonesian noun + saya can be interpreted a bit more broadly, depending on tone and situation. But for everyday learners, the main rule is simple:

• noun + saya = my + noun

So here:

• kucing saya tidur = my cat is sleeping / my cat sleeps

Indonesian often does not use a word like English is/am/are in simple sentences.

So instead of saying something like My cat is sleeping in the corner of the room, Indonesian can simply say:

• Kucing saya tidur di pojok kamar.

There is no separate verb to be needed here.

Also, tidur can already function as the main verb:

• tidur = to sleep / sleep / be sleeping, depending on context

It can mean either, depending on context.

In Indonesian, verbs do not change form the way English verbs do. So tidur can be understood as:

• sleep
• sleeps
• is sleeping
• was sleeping

The time or aspect is usually understood from context or from extra words such as:

• sedang = in the middle of doing something
• sudah = already
• akan = will

For example:

• Kucing saya tidur. = My cat sleeps / My cat is sleeping
• Kucing saya sedang tidur. = My cat is sleeping right now

Because di here is a preposition meaning in / at / on, so it is written as a separate word:

• di pojok = in the corner

This is different from the prefix di- used in passive verbs, which is attached to the verb:

• ditulis = written
• dibuka = opened

So:

• di pojok ✅ separate, because di is a preposition
• ditulis ✅ attached, because di- is a verb prefix

Literally, it is something like corner room, but in natural Indonesian it means the corner of the room or a room corner, depending on context.

Indonesian often links nouns directly without using a word like English of.

So:

• pojok kamar = corner of the room
• pintu kamar = door of the room / room door
• warna mobil = color of the car / car color

This noun-noun pattern is very common.

Indonesian does not usually use articles like English a, an, or the.

So a phrase like:

• pojok kamar

can mean:

• a corner of the room
• the corner of the room

The exact meaning depends on context.

That is very normal in Indonesian. Learners often need to get used to the fact that Indonesian usually leaves definiteness unstated unless it really needs to be made clear.

That is a very normal Indonesian sentence order.

A common pattern is:

• Subject + Verb + Place

So here:

• Kucing saya = subject
• tidur = verb
• di pojok kamar = place

This is similar to English:

• My cat sleeps in the corner of the room.

You can sometimes move parts around for emphasis, but this order is the most straightforward and natural.

Yes. That would sound very natural if you want to emphasize that the action is happening right now.

Compare:

• Kucing saya tidur di pojok kamar. = My cat sleeps / My cat is sleeping in the corner of the room.
• Kucing saya sedang tidur di pojok kamar. = My cat is sleeping in the corner of the room.

Adding sedang makes the ongoing action clearer.

No. Another very common word is sudut.

Both can mean corner, but they can feel slightly different depending on context:

• pojok often feels like a physical corner or side area
• sudut can also mean corner, angle, or a more formal/geometric corner

In everyday speech, pojok kamar is very natural for the corner of the room.

In Indonesian, nouns usually do not change form for singular vs. plural.

So kucing can mean:

• cat
• cats

In this sentence, the presence of saya and the context make my cat the most natural meaning.

If you wanted to clearly mark plurality, Indonesian can use reduplication:

• kucing-kucing saya = my cats

But very often, context is enough.

Yes, it is natural and correct.

It is a simple and standard sentence:

• Kucing saya = my cat
• tidur = sleeps / is sleeping
• di pojok kamar = in the corner of the room

A slightly more specific version would be:

• Kucing saya sedang tidur di pojok kamar.

But the original sentence is already perfectly normal.
