[kousuke.na1]

is "This restaurant name is Jakarta" correct?

[1CN5ijzC]

i think you should use "'s" as in
This restaurant's name is Jakarta

In English they usuallly don't use possessive case with lifeless things. And in that case you should use 'of the' or noun+noun constractions. So, the correct phrases are:"The name of the restaurant is Jakarta","This restaurant name is Jakarta". Check the link https://www.tspu.edu.ru/tspu/files/fia/files/possessive_case_of_nouns.pdf

I think it only works with certain nouns, and it also depends on the sentence.

'This restaurant's name is Jarkata' sounds okay.

'This restaurant name is Jarkata' sounds strange to me.

Yep, should be changed.

'The restaurant name is Jakarta' is not a good sentence in English and would be marked as incorrect in a test at an Australian school. ' The restaurant's name is Jakarta' is a correct answer. Sorry but English does not always follow the rules. I am a native English speaker,

[Flanders1]

That is correct, but Duolingo marks that sentence as incorrect. I have reported it.

[echorain2]

Same here.

[A.Igor]

Report it please. I believe it should be accepted as well.

"The name of this restaurant is Jakarta" is a bit formal, but not bad. "This restaurant's name is Jakarta" is more casual and feels more frequently spoken to me. Just depends on situation.

[Indo-Nihon]

Why is the restaurant called "Jakarta" anyway? That's the name of the city

[aynxxx]

What a fancy name

[Rossi445650]

Pretty confusing

[Nathan560675]

Not sure why this got marked incorrect

[Kingy_8]

I write "the name of the restaurant is Jakarta" and it comes up as wrong. My understanding is Ini can be this or the.
