Adik laki-laki saya tidak suka brokoli, tetapi dia suka stroberi dingin setelah makan.

In Indonesian:

• adik = younger sibling
• laki-laki = male
• saya = my / I

So adik laki-laki saya literally means my male younger sibling, which is how Indonesian says my younger brother.

A useful comparison:

• adik perempuan saya = my younger sister
• kakak laki-laki saya = my older brother
• kakak perempuan saya = my older sister

Indonesian often distinguishes older vs. younger siblings, not just brother or sister.

Because possession in Indonesian usually works like this:

• noun + possessor

So:

• adik saya = my younger sibling
• rumah saya = my house
• buku saya = my book

This is different from English, where the possessor often comes first, as in my book.

Yes. Adik saya simply means my younger sibling. In real conversation, people often say just adik saya if the gender is already known or not important.

Adding laki-laki makes it specific: younger brother, not just younger sibling.

No. Indonesian verbs do not change for person or number the way English verbs do.

So suka stays the same with any subject:

• saya suka = I like
• dia suka = he/she likes
• mereka suka = they like

There is no equivalent of English like / likes distinction.

Tidak is the usual word for not when negating verbs, adjectives, or some adverb-like expressions.

Here:

• tidak suka = do not like / does not like

So:

• Adik laki-laki saya tidak suka brokoli = My younger brother does not like broccoli

A very important contrast:

• tidak is generally used with verbs and adjectives
• bukan is generally used with nouns

For example:

• Saya tidak suka brokoli = I do not like broccoli
• Itu bukan brokoli = That is not broccoli

Standard Indonesian dia can mean both he and she.

So Indonesian pronouns usually do not show gender the way English pronouns do. You understand the gender from context, or from earlier words like adik laki-laki.

That means:

• dia suka stroberi = he likes strawberries / she likes strawberries

Context tells you which one is meant.

Both mean but.

• tetapi is more formal or neutral in careful writing
• tapi is very common in everyday speech and informal writing

So this sentence uses the more formal/full form:

• ..., tetapi dia suka ... = ..., but he likes ...

In casual speech, many people would say:

• ..., tapi dia suka ...

In Indonesian, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.

So:

• stroberi dingin = cold strawberries
• rumah besar = big house
• air dingin = cold water

This is a very common difference from English word order.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Indonesian nouns usually do not have a built-in singular/plural marking the way English does. So stroberi can mean:

• strawberry
• strawberries

In this sentence, English would most naturally translate it as cold strawberries, but the Indonesian form itself does not force singular or plural.

If speakers want to make plural very clear, they can sometimes use repetition:

• stroberi-stroberi

But very often that is unnecessary.

Because stroberi dingin is just a noun phrase, not a full clause.

It means:

• stroberi = strawberries
• dingin = cold

So together: cold strawberries

There is no need for is/are because Indonesian does not use a copula in the same way English does for simple noun-adjective combinations.

Literally, it means after eating.

• setelah = after
• makan = eat / eating / a meal, depending on context

In this sentence, setelah makan is naturally understood as:

• after eating
• after a meal
• after meals

All are possible depending on the context.

Because Indonesian often leaves things unstated when they are obvious or not important.

So setelah makan does not need to say what was eaten. It simply means after eating or after the meal.

English often does the same:

• I wash my hands after eating.

You do not have to say what was eaten.

They are loanwords, and they are standard Indonesian vocabulary.

• brokoli = broccoli
• stroberi = strawberry

Many food names in Indonesian come from other languages, but their spelling is adapted to Indonesian spelling conventions.

Because Indonesian does not normally use articles the way English does.

So nouns like brokoli and stroberi can appear without words equivalent to a, an, or the.

Context usually tells you whether the meaning is general or specific.

For example:

• Saya suka brokoli = I like broccoli
• Dia membeli buku = He/She bought a book / the book, depending on context

It is natural and standard here because tetapi connects two contrasting clauses:

• Adik laki-laki saya tidak suka brokoli
• tetapi dia suka stroberi dingin setelah makan

So the comma helps separate the two parts clearly, much like in English before but. In less formal writing, punctuation may vary, but this version is perfectly normal.
