"My cat does not like black dresses."

Translation: Kucingku tidak suka gaun-gaun hitam.

[heleen522451]

Odd. My cat would see a black dress as a fabulous place on which to leave her fur...

Althouh it was in the "plural" section, I translated it as above, but if I just translate this sentence I'd translate as "Kucing saya tidak suka gaun hitam".... I believe that would be correct, too.. Would the meaning become any different?

"Kucing saya tidak suka gaun hitam".... I believe that would be correct, too.. Would the meaning become any different?

That would also be correct.
(And should be accepted as well).
The meaning is the same :
My cat doesn't like black dresses (in general).

In this sentence, it's not really necessary to reduplicate 'gaun' to indicate the plural form.

Yea sometimes they say 'skirts' and only accept a single 'rok' and now they say 'dresses' and only accept 'gaun-gaun', makes it quite confusing since some other non-clothing items in particular do require it a certain way.

Why is - "kucing saya" tidak suka gaun gaun hitam - incorrect? Is there a difference between "kucing saya" and "kucingku"?

[tthatchbass]

No, there is not difference in meaning. -Ku is similar to 'aku' which is a less formal version of 'saya'. Kucingku (which would be more popular when speaking informally with friends) is the exact same in meaning as kucing saya. Both mean 'My cat'.

Did I just read over if the alternatives as "my cat doesn't like black schools"? Sends a little controversial to say the least! I must have misunderstood!

So the plural for it is gaun-gaun but it says the correct answer is gaun gaun?

[akucintaDani]

No real difference but it is more grammatically correct to use gaun-gaun
