"Itu minuman mereka."

Translation: Those are their drinks.

How would you say 'those drinks are theirs'?

[yogastorow]

Minuman-minuman itu milik mereka and Minuman-minuman itu punya mereka

[agusdallalba]

Thanks, I get it now.

[CatherineC420093]

"It's their drinks" is clunky English, "those are their drinks" is better.

Yes, you're right.
They've changed the translation now.

[Cameron298]

Would 'Minuman itu mereka' be acceptable as well?

[rizqianelo]

No.it is wrong..the meaning would be 'they are the drink'

[EdoIndo]

I have the same question.

[Bierdame_Bo]

That is their beverage is not correct?

[MiaZmijaLija]

How do we know that minuman is in the plural?

[Rick392366]

'mereka' = they (plural)
I think it's the most logical thing to assume that you're talking about more than one drink.

"That is their drink' is probably correct (grammatically) but to me it sounds a bit strange.
Just one drink for more than one person.

[Jon.Orble]

But both “drink” and “minuman” here can mean the mass noun rather than a single drink in one bottle or glass. For example,
“Teenagers all like Cola. That’s their drink.”
“Remaja semua suka Cola. Itu minuman mereka.”

[Rhys315]

There was no "theirs" option so I had to put "their" and it was still wrong

[Smeet0]

Could this possibly mean, "that drinks them" (where "that" is doing the drinking)?

[Kaylao636716]

As a Tagalog speaker, the use of itu as "that" is a little thing to get used to considering that it's a cognate of ito (this) in my language

[AbdulRashid_S]

that is their drink must be accepted because 'itu' in itself does not distinguish a large volume from separate smaller volumes (a barrel of beer from glasses of beer, for instance)
