"This book is mine."

Translation: Buku ini milikku.

[RussG10]

is "ini bukuku" acceptable?

[1CN5ijzC]

although they have the same meaning, but the direct translation would be "this is my book"

[RussG10]

A subtle difference ......... makes sense. Thank you.

[elelkay]

Which is the more common form used?

[MichelleMa445890]

Both are common, you can use both but "ini bukuku" would sound less stiff and less formal than "buku ini milikku"

[Kpereira]

Am i right to say a sentence starting with INI or ITU ....means THIS IS or THAT IS. whereas BUKU INI or BUKU ITU means THIS BOOK or THAT BOOK

[Serfive]

ya

[Tonyunome]

Is "buku ini saya" the same?

[Mick615494]

Why is "buku ini milik saya" not correct?

[Tokke9]

Ini buku Saya should be correct too

[DazzaMark]

Ini bukuku should be correct
