"Mereka tidak suka terung yang pedas."

Translation: They do not like spicy eggplants.

Why does yang need to be in the sentence?

[jerguy1928]

This should say, "They do not like spicy eggplant". The plural and singular form of eggplant is 'eggplant'.

[joK8Un]

little bit over some of these translations.

Isn't it terong?

[1CN5ijzC]

according to dictionary, it suppose to be "terung" see https://kbbi.web.id/terong and https://kbbi.web.id/terung

Usually my indonesian friends translate pedas as hot.

[falcon074]

Yup, it could be the case in casual familiar conversation.

But in written language, it would be improper.

Hot could be "panas" or "pedas"
Spicy = pedas.

In written formal language,

Saya ingin makan makanan yang pedas = I want to eat spicy food

Saya ingin makan makanan yang panas = I want to eat hot food

[keelymcdicken]

i thought the 'yang' would specify these specific spicy eggplants rather than spicy eggplants in general, so why is the translation not 'they do not like the spicy eggplants'?

Why is brinjal wrong?
