"Mereka minta teh manis."

Translation: They ask for sweetened tea.

[eastywood]

"Sweet tea" should also be an acceptable translation.

[ModernApothecary]

I typed my answer rather than use the word bank and "sweet tea" was accepted

[AScam0]

not for me :-( reported 26-02-19
I take that back! I had the wrong pronoun, sorry team! :-o

[Mickey_P]

They request sweet tea should be correct. The word 'request' is given as an alternative

[RobertEddy]

Difference between minta and meminta?

[duolingotfek]

Meminta = prefix "me-" + base word "pinta"

For daily conversation, just drop the "me-"

[Cal36028]

If it's minta, it's informal. If it's meminta it's formal. Forgive me if I'm wrong

[BagasPrako]

Both are acceptable

[Douglas131972]

They ask for sweet tea

[CassiopeiaLyra]

couldn't 'minta' also be translated as 'order' as opposed to 'ask for'?

[Cal36028]

Order also means memesan

[AbdullahAAK]

Minta = to ask or to ask for?
E.g saya minta Mileena
Then am i asking for Mileena, or asking Mileena?

[Mariayeoji]

'ask for'

[Caroline34319]

I wrote "They want sweet tea" and got it wrong. Isn't 'minta' similar to 'want' in English?

[__CF__]

Literally, 'minta' means 'ask', but in many contexts like these, a free translation into 'want' would be fine in my opinion. Duolingo often requires very very literal translations.

[TJR696322]

sweat tea or sweatend tea is the same in Indonesia. Sweat tea was considered wrong here when i typed it but duolingo is wrong in this case.
Minta is informal and meminta is formal so used in writing.

[Mariayeoji]

Be careful to ask for 'sweat tea' ;) You don't want 'perspiration tea', do you? ^-^

[Lisa-Lisa-Lisa]

they ask for sweet tea should be excepted
