"Andi suka jaket."

Translation: Andi likes jackets.

[Bjooorn1]

Could this also mean Andi likes a jacket or the jacket? Depending on the context

[dcarkner]

Wouldn't that translate to jaketnya or jaket itu?

[caesar_solid]

Having an article in front of 'jacket' is just as much of an assumption as the accepted answer which assumes 'jacket' is plural, "likes the jacket" or "likes a jacket" should be fine here because there is not enough context given to know the precise meaning.

I think also that Andi likes a jacket should be correct?

[Rockerz222]

I concur – "Andi likes the jacket".

[Arifahisnaini]

What about Andi loves a jacket?

[Dom437776]

It's wrong.

[Debs60155]

Andi likes the jacket- should definitely be accepted. Why is it wrong?
(or it would be jaket2 but I realise we haven’t don’t plurals yet).

Is it because "jacket" is general here? I understand that "likes jackets" is more idiomatic in English though.
