"Istri saya suka kucing."

Translation: My wife loves cats.

[Yohanna895479]

what about: "my wife likes cats"?

[sumsel1]

It was accepted when I typed it.

[Pablitooss]

Suka means like, Cinta (mencintai) means love, it's wrong

[dcarkner]

Despite their dictionary definitions it seems pretty clear that love in that example sentence is being used in a colloquial way that is interchangeable with like.

[FrankSC]

Suka is like and sayang is love or cinta.

[Sir_Carl]

Does she love every kind of cat? Does she want to hug all of them, but she can't?

[adrianwhatever]

I'm thinking about cats again.
Can't hug every cat

Lel
Over here we call the iron (clothes-related) istri in Urdu.

[SunnyLyngdoh]

I wonder what the root is. This one is clearly from the Sanskrit 'stree', meaning woman or wife.

[VirginiaCh617896]

Isn't the plural form of cat supposed to be kucing-kucing?

[INDAHNESIA]

Correct; but when singular more than one cat is also implied, I'm presuming if specifically she wanted her love for only one cat, then it would be, " Istri Saya suka seekor kucing" ekor(tail) = animal quantifier
(se)ekor = one animal, duaekor = two animal

[FrenchAdrien]

WRONG: suka can also be "like" and I got it wrong...

[Peter69217]

Suka = like in every other transalation

[Archie135birgir]

Suka = liking
Cinta = love.
My wife loves cats = istri saya mencintai kucing
