Questions & Answers about Kelab tarian di kampus itu sangat popular.

What exactly does itu mean in di kampus itu? Is it “that campus” or “the campus”?

Itu is a demonstrative that usually means “that”, but in real usage it often works like “that / the” depending on context.

• kampus itu
  
  • literal: that campus (a specific campus the speakers both know)
  • in English translation, it might come out as “the campus” or “that campus” depending on what sounds natural.

So di kampus itu = “at that (particular) campus”, not just any campus in general. Without itu (di kampus), it would sound more general: “on campus / at the campus (in general)”.
