"Andi tidak ada di hotel."

Translation: Andi is not at the hotel.

[jamezh13]

Would “Andi tidak di hotel” still be correct, or do you need ‘ada’ because ‘tidak’ needs to negate a verb?

[DiandraRid]

It's still correct.

[Johnathanv483403]

There are no definite/indefinite articles in Indonesian, so "Andi is not in the hotel" and "Andi is not in a hotel" both would be acceptable translations in this situation.

[Toby694301]

I thought itu after the noun was the definite article. Could you use that here to specify “the”?

[EJNRr1]

Why is "tidak" used here but not "bukan"?

[Habsu2]

If we use 'bukan', we need to suggest other place(s) where Andi is actually at.

[DiandraRid]

"Tidak" negates verbs and ADJECTIVES, "bukan" is with nouns

[SeanYu9]

Then why is it "kamu bukan dari jepang" but "andi tidak di hotel"?
