"Tini datang dari jauh, yaitu dari Jepang."

Translation: Tini comes from afar, that is from Japan.

"Afar" is not completely archaic, but is mostly used for rhetorical effect. May I suggest using "far away" as a replacement?

[matthewfoong]

Maybe not in the US but 'afar' is used a bit more in British English i think. Ive definately heard people using that in everyday speech, usually more upper class people

Also can "from" be accepted as part of the answer?
"Tini comes from far away, i.e. from Japan."

"Tini datang dari jauh, yaitu dari Jepang."
Translation:Tini comes from afar, that is Japan.

Tini comes from afar, that is from Japan. = not accepted, reported.

Tini comes from far away, that is Japan. = not accepted, reported.

Tini comes from far away, that is from Japan. = not accepted, reported.

[Deinonysus]

I think "namely Japan" sounds more natural than "that is from Japan".

[Robyn721662]

This is a poorly constructed English translation

English not really right

[Henry122426]

I think most UK native speakers would use 'from' twice rather than once, regardless of whether they were to use the word 'afar' or the phrase 'far away'. It should definitely not be marked as wrong in either case.

[Bjooorn1]

Could it also be "tini arrives from afar... ?

[PeterC-L]

I was marked wrong for this and I think it should have been accepted.

[ZoltanG891]

This sounds a little awkward in English

Wierd sentence

[ChrisPwise]

The english sentence is poor grammar.
"Tini comes from afar, which is Japan".
'that is' is wrong on this context and 'from' is not needed twice.

[noelster1987]

This sounds dumb to a native English speaker

[AndyBirtwistle]

A typo Tin instead of Tini is not a mistake!

[Richard842034]

In this case, the typo you mentioned gives the sentence a completely different meaning.
