[Rick392366]

Kucing besar saya

[yogastorow]

And also kucing besarku

[Tien2110]

What does "besarku" mean?

[cafe_disco]

In addition to the -ku suffix (which MarcusWhel1 pointed out), there are other suffixes denoting possession. Here's a complete list:

-ku = my (from "aku")

-mu = your (from "kamu")

-nya = his/her (from "ia")

[ALLintolearning3]

I think that might be "besaraku" or do they shorten it? "Aku" is another word which is informal for I, while "Saya" is the formal version.

this is awsome!!!!

[MonicaSeah]

do you always put saya after a noun
saya kuching besar is it correct?

[cafe_disco]

No, the possessive pronoun comes after the noun. "Kucing saya besar" = "my cat is big". "Saya kucing besar" = "I am a big cat".

[MonicaSeah]

Thank you!!

[ZephJames]

I actually like this structure..as it goes from most important to least. What are you talking about? Kucing. What Kucing? Saya. What about it? Besar.

[RamenDutchman]

So "besar" means "big"?
That's easy! I'll just thing of a big market, which is a bazaar!
