Kalian is plural "You" right? So is it not possible to emphasize the plural by saying [You guys have oranges]
So using Kalian is like saying " you all have an orange" instead of saying "you have an orange" by using kamu/anda ??
Yes, but note than in English the normal "you" is ambiguous, and can be used as well to talk to one person, or to several person (see speeches for instance), so it's not mandatory to say "you all", unless you want to be non ambiguous.
Why is the correct answer "oranges" (plural)? Jeruk is singular, there is not plural "jeruk jeruk" or any numerative operator like banyak jeruk or beberapa jeruk.
Because kalian is plural for you, and you wouldn't say "you guys have an orange", would you?
Why not? I give one orange to two guys, now they have an orange, so there's nothing wrong with saying that. Whatever they do with that orange, is up to them ;J
maybe every one of you have an orange. and it's confusing to have one thing for all people
Could it also be "You own oranges"?
Yes, I think so, it has the same meaning.
"to have" = "to own" = "to possess".
However, in English I think I wouldn't say that "I own oranges" or "I possess oranges".
I would say "I have oranges".
It means the same, and it sounds more natural.
(disclaimer : I'm not a native English speaker)
No. Own is stronger than to have. They don't have the same meaning. To have is not synonym with to own or possess.
I have oranges in my hand, the oranges are my sisters ones (not mine).
Do you have oranges?
Yes, I have oranges.
It's not always a possession, it could be he fact to hold it, or to have it temporarily.
While "owning" means a legal possession.
The proof is that you "have" a brother, and you don't "own" or "possess" a brother.
In some context, they are the same, I have a dog, it means I own a dog. But when you chose to say "I own", it's always an emphasis, and to show something more than with using the simple "I have".
You can say "I have a house", or "I have a beautiful sleeping room" because you use them. Maybe you rent your house.
But you can't say in this case "I own a house" or "I own a sleeping room", it would mean you are the legal owner.
So no, here, you have no context, you cannot tell that it's "own" oranges rather than simply "having".
I believe it's the same in Indonesian, with the use of "milik", a clear marker of possession.

I read that final -k in Indonesian is a glottal stop.
Is it noticable during speech?
Can it be heard in this audio? Maybe I can't hear it because of my untrained ears.
So im seeing a lot of formal qnd informal words but when is the appropriate time to use those words? Surely it wouldnt matter too much right?
