"I have a grandson."

Translation: Saya punya cucu laki-laki.

[MarvelHa]

I said "saya mempunyai cucu laki-laki" but duolingo corrected me with punya instead of mempunyai when they have the same meaning. If anything, mempunyai is more correct because it's more formal and shows that it is a verb that required an object

[MuhammadAnshory]

Both are correct
Punya and mempunyai has the same meaning but mempunyai is more formal
But both always require an object

[AbdullahAAK]

No seorang used here. Why?

[cornishpixies]

Why no 'orang'?

[odcameron]

What is "cucu laki" then?
