If the translation here for 'My dogs do not like cats.' is 'Anjing-anjing saya tidak suka kucing' then why is 'cats' = 'kucing' and not 'kucing-kucing'?
Hai teman! This sentence could use "cats" in general, so the translation is fine, and not necessarily using "kucing-kucing".
Selamat belajar! :)
since it is "Cats" at the end shount it be "anjing-anjing saya tidak suka kucing-kucing" but the answer is mentioned as wrong. I reported

Totally wrong. If we are learning plurals, and it refers to cats then it has to be kucing kucing. Or it would be my dogs do not like a cat? How am I wrong?

When you are referring to something in general, you do not use plural in Indonesian, so the translation is correct. The dogs, on the other hand, are of a specific number, so the plural form can be used.

Who actually answers this or is there no administrator and we all only leave a comment what we think is correct?

When talking about "my dogs" does it have to be "anjing-anjing saya" or is "anjing saya" also used depending on the context?

After what I have learned, it is optional. The reduplication is used to emphatize that there are more than one.
I am malaysian .. my language almost same with indonesian .. some of indonesian word use the passive word .. so , sometimes i confuse with this word
How the ❤❤❤❤ they consider WRONG not to put the ' - ' sign between the same words definibg plural. ABSURD
