Bilik itu tanpa perabot.

• bilik = room
• itu = that / the
• tanpa = without
• perabot = furniture

So the sentence literally looks like room that/the without furniture, which in natural English is The room has no furniture or The room is unfurnished.

In Malay, words like ini and itu usually come after the noun.

• bilik ini = this room
• bilik itu = that room / the room

This is different from English, where this and that come before the noun.

Also, in many contexts, itu can make a noun feel more specific or definite, so bilik itu can often be understood as the room as well as that room.

Malay often leaves out the verb to be when describing something.

So instead of saying something like The room is without furniture, Malay simply says:

• Bilik itu tanpa perabot.

This is normal. Malay does not always need a separate word for is / are / am the way English does.

Tanpa is correct and clear, and it means without.

However, in everyday Malay, speakers might also say:

• Bilik itu tiada perabot. = The room has no furniture.
• Bilik itu tidak ada perabot. = The room does not have furniture.

These can sound more conversational in some situations.
Tanpa perabot is slightly more concise and can sound a bit more formal or descriptive, like in property listings or written descriptions.

Perabot usually means furniture as a collective noun, just like English furniture.

So:

• perabot = furniture in general

If you want to talk about a specific item, you would usually name it:

• kerusi = chair
• meja = table
• katil = bed

Malay nouns do not have to change form for singular and plural in the same way English does, so perabot can refer to furniture generally without needing a special plural ending.

Yes. That is a very natural English translation.

Depending on context, Bilik itu tanpa perabot could be translated as:

• The room has no furniture.
• The room is without furniture.
• The room is unfurnished.

The exact English version depends on what sounds best in context.

Bilik generally means room.

But in real usage, it can sometimes refer to a bedroom, especially if the context makes that obvious. For example, in a house rental context, bilik often means a room for sleeping.

If you want to be more specific, Malay also has:

• bilik tidur = bedroom
• bilik mandi = bathroom

So by itself, bilik is broad, but context can narrow the meaning.

Yes, you may see or hear forms like tidak berperabot, but tanpa perabot and tiada perabot are more straightforward for learners.

• berperabot means furnished
• tidak berperabot means not furnished / unfurnished

So:

• Bilik itu berperabot. = The room is furnished.
• Bilik itu tidak berperabot. = The room is unfurnished.

That said, Bilik itu tanpa perabot is simpler and very clear.

No. You can say:

• Bilik tanpa perabot

This can mean a room without furniture or function as a more general label, such as in an advertisement or heading.

Adding itu makes it more specific:

• Bilik itu tanpa perabot = that room / the room is without furniture

So itu helps point to a particular room.

In a rental or housing context, Bilik itu tanpa perabot would be understood as saying the room comes with no furniture.

But in real ads, people often use very common set phrases such as:

• bilik kosong = empty room
• bilik tidak berperabot = unfurnished room
• bilik separa berperabot = partially furnished room
• bilik berperabot penuh = fully furnished room

So the sentence is correct, but in practical housing language, you may also encounter these more specific expressions.
