Questions & Answers about Stroberi dingin itu enak dimakan dengan yogurt.
Why is dingin placed after stroberi instead of before it?
In Indonesian, adjectives usually come after the noun.
So:
- stroberi dingin = cold strawberries
- literally: strawberries cold
This is normal Indonesian word order. English usually puts adjectives before the noun, but Indonesian usually puts them after.
What does itu mean here?
Itu often means that or those, but in sentences like this it can also make the noun phrase feel more definite, like the in English.
So stroberi dingin itu can mean:
- those cold strawberries
- the cold strawberries
Exactly which one sounds best depends on context. Indonesian does not use articles like the and a, so words like itu often help show that something is specific.
Does stroberi dingin itu mean those cold strawberries or the strawberries are cold?
