"I like oranges, apples."

Translation: Saya suka jeruk, apel.

[MiklerRaymond]

Interesting fact: In Bahasa Melayu, the word apple is 'epal'

[AlvinusAru1]

Bahasa Melayu : epal, Bahasa Indonesia: apel

[_ginzburg]

That's exactly what s/he said.

[Oemar11]

Only need to use a comma when there is more then 3 nouns in a series. The proper sentence is. "I like oranges and apples." Example: I like oranges, apples, and pears.

I used to think plurar was always word repetition. Why is it not so in this case?

[SaefulAkbar]

Without context, any noun in Indonesian can be singular or plural. We only use word repetition if we want to emphasize that the noun is plural. In these example, we don't need to emphasize that the object is plural :

I don't eat apples -> saya tidak makan apel;
Apples are healthy foods-> Apel adalah makanan sehat;

Meanwhile, in these examples, emphasizing that the object is plural is necessary, because we are referring to a specific group of objects :
Those apples are delicious -> Apel-apel itu enak;
These apples are green -> Apel-apel ini hijau;

Furthermore, we can also use a counter if we want to emphasize that an object is singular :

I eat an apple this morning -> Saya makan sebuah apel pagi ini;

Without the counter, the apple can be singular or plural, so I might have eaten 1 apple or 10.

Why is this language oddly easy to pronounce?

[TristanHai5]

That's a good question

Di indonesia gak ada jeruk apel melainkan adanya mangga apel lol jadi kalau mau dibaca harus ada jeda koma kalau mau di tulis harus "jeruk, apel"
