    Menarik often means "interested in". Why would that not be an acceptable translation here?

      Where is the reference in this sentence to “her”? It seems to me that it’s saying: “I pull the bag.”

      The suffix -nya could be the bag/his bag/her bag. Context would help distinguish.

        Similar to berapa harganya?, meaning how much is this?

        Yes, or more literally, berapa harganya is what is the price? berapa = how much/how many harga = price. harganya = the price or its price, referring to the item in question.

        Could tasnya be her/his bag? or the bag?
