Rice cooker itu rusak semalam, jadi pagi ini Ayah membawanya ke toko elektronik.

Here itu points to a specific thing already known in the conversation. It often works like that or sometimes the in English.

So:

• rice cooker = a rice cooker, or rice cooker in general
• rice cooker itu = that rice cooker / the rice cooker

In Indonesian, demonstratives like ini and itu usually come after the noun:

• buku ini = this book
• rumah itu = that house

Because in Indonesian, words like ini and itu normally come after the noun they describe.

Examples:

• mobil itu = that car
• orang ini = this person

So Rice cooker itu is the normal pattern.

It can behave a lot like both, but in this sentence it is best understood as a stative word meaning broken or damaged.

So:

• Rice cooker itu rusak = The rice cooker was broken / The rice cooker is broken

Indonesian often does not need a separate word for is/was in sentences like this. A simple pattern is:

• Noun + adjective/state

Examples:

• Mobilnya baru = His/her car is new
• Pintunya terbuka = The door is open
• Rice cooker itu rusak = That rice cooker was/is broken

Yes. In this sentence, semalam means last night.

So:

• rusak semalam = broke last night / was broken last night

The time word often comes after the main statement, which is very normal in Indonesian.

Indonesian usually does not use a verb like to be in this kind of sentence.

English:

• The rice cooker was broken last night.

Indonesian:

• Rice cooker itu rusak semalam.

The time expression semalam shows the past meaning, so a separate word for was is not necessary.

Here jadi means so, therefore, or as a result.

It connects the two parts:

• the rice cooker broke last night
• jadi = so / therefore
• this morning Father took it to the electronics store

So it shows cause and result.

Pagi ini is the normal and most common way to say this morning.

With time expressions, Indonesian often puts ini after the time word:

• hari ini = today
• malam ini = tonight
• minggu ini = this week
• pagi ini = this morning

So pagi ini is the standard pattern learners should use.

Because Ayah here is being used like a name or direct family title: Father/Dad.

When words like Ayah, Ibu, Bapak, or Mama refer to a specific person almost like a proper name, they are often capitalized.

Compare:

• Ayah membawanya... = Dad took it...
• ayah saya = my father

So the capital letter shows it is being used as a personal title.

Membawanya can be broken into:

• meN-
  • bawa
    • -nya

Step by step:

• bawa = carry, bring, take
• membawa = to bring / to take
• membawanya = to bring/take it

The prefix meN- forms an active verb. Because the base word is bawa, the result is membawa.

Here -nya means it, referring back to rice cooker itu.

So:

• membawa = to take / bring
• membawanya = to take / bring it

In this sentence, -nya is an object pronoun attached directly to the verb.

Yes. -nya is very common in Indonesian and can have several uses depending on context, including:

• him/her/it
• his/her/its
• sometimes a definite sense like the

But in membawanya, the most natural meaning is it, because it refers to the rice cooker.

Because membawa is the standard active verb form in neutral or careful Indonesian.

• bawa is the base word
• membawa is the full active verb

In casual speech, people may say bawa:

• Ayah bawa itu ke toko.

But in standard written Indonesian, membawa is preferred:

• Ayah membawanya ke toko elektronik.

The difference is the object pronoun:

• membawa = to bring / take
• membawanya = to bring / take it

So -nya makes the object explicit.

Because ke marks movement to a place.

• ke = to
• di = at/in
• dari = from

So:

• ke toko elektronik = to the electronics store
• di toko elektronik = at the electronics store

Since the father is taking the rice cooker somewhere, ke is the correct preposition.

It means electronics store.

In Indonesian, noun modifiers often come after the noun:

• toko buku = bookstore
• toko sepatu = shoe store
• toko elektronik = electronics store

So elektronik describes the type of store.

A simple way to see it is:

• Rice cooker itu = subject/topic
• rusak = state
• semalam = time
• jadi = so
• pagi ini = time
• Ayah = subject
• membawanya = verb + object pronoun
• ke toko elektronik = destination

So Indonesian often allows a very natural flow like:

topic + state + time, connector, time + subject + verb + destination

It may feel slightly different from English, but it is completely normal in Indonesian.

Yes. Indonesian is fairly flexible with time expressions.

You could say:

• Rice cooker itu rusak semalam.
• Semalam rice cooker itu rusak.

Both are grammatical. The difference is mainly emphasis:

• Rice cooker itu rusak semalam sounds like a neutral statement
• Semalam rice cooker itu rusak emphasizes last night

It can correspond to either bring or take, depending on perspective.

In this sentence, English would naturally say took it to the electronics store, so take is the better translation. But the Indonesian verb membawa itself does not always force the same distinction English does between bring and take.
