This > ini That > itu

"this orange" was not accepted ?! what is the difference please?

"This orange" = Jeruk ini.
"That orange" = Jeruk itu.

Hai! Since "itu" can be "that", "those", "the". I think it is a valid translation. Bagus! =)))

Selamat belajar! :)

“Itu” can reference “those”. It depends on the context the speaker is using and the situation which it’s being used. Indonesian is a very contextual language, so doing these tests can sometimes have multiple outcomes and confuse some people. So I think they should allow your answer as valid.

That being said one could argue that due to sentence “that orange” it’s refering to a singular Orange and not the plural form “those Oranges.

Plurals in Indonesian have different forms but I Believe Inanimate objects such as fruit ( in this example) when written in plural form the word is just repeated between hythins.

So “those oranges” would have been written as “jeruk-jeruk itu” or “itu jeruk-jeruk”

it's accepted now

Cause i want to learn English in another way

My answer" it is an orange" was not accepted

Jeruk itu = That orange. (sometimes translated as "The orange")

It is an orange = Itu adalah sebuah jeruk.
It is an orange = Itu adalah jeruk.
It is an orange = Itu jeruk.

It is an orange artinya "ini sebuah jeruk."
