"Explain why you are late for three days in a row!"

Translation: Jelaskan kenapa kamu terlambat tiga hari berturut-turut!

[Rick392366]

Explain why you are late for three days in a row!
Meaning: Jelaskan kenapa kamu terlambat tiga hari berturut-turut!

Jelaskan kenapa kamu telat tiga hari berturut-turut! = not accepted, reported

"terlambat"= "telat" (also mentioned when you hover over the word "late")

telat/te·lat/ a kasip; terlambat

[Ria___]

Can you use "menjelaskan" here?

[BenShaw49503]

It is not correct to do so. You are commanding someone to do something. So the me- prefix is dropped.

See the "command" course for more detail

Can I use mengapa instead of Kenapa?
