"Jaket merah muda itu"

Translation: That pink jacket

[pigsqueak]

I received this sentence in the adjectives lesson, teaching muda. This is a really bad sentence to use for first learning muda.

I don't understand.
Why is it bad ?

[pigsqueak]

The sentence itself is fine, I just don't think it's a good sentence for first learning that muda = young. I know that you use muda to turn any color into a light version of that color, but when first learning the word muda, it would be more straightforward if the English sentence contained the word "young".

Okay, now I undertstand.
You're right, something straightforward like : "Kamu muda", "Adikku muda", "Anjingmu muda"...

[EgadSaysI]

Since an earlier lesson on colours contained "muda merah", i think they were using it to sort of draw parallels.

If it hadn't been used in an earlier (possibly mandatory?) lesson, i would fully agree with what you are saying.

Why is "that jacket is pink" wrong?
