"Botol yang terisi teh ini membuat saya teringat akan kamu."

Translation: This tea-filled bottle made me remember you.

What's with the "akan"?

[Rick392366]

Yes, this one is very sneaky....

"akan " is normally used to indicate the future tense, and translated to English as "will".

In this sentence, it's used in another way, as a synonym for "kepada".

[tsuj1g1r1]

Wow, did not know it could be used that way. Thanks!

[joeldipops]

I think I remember there's quite a few words that work in a similar way...a remarkable number of them having four letters and starting with a or b :P

akan, bagi, buat come to mind. I might remember others later.

Edit: agar is another one.

[Ria___]

Please enlighten us with other sneaky words, and their usage!!

[joeldipops]

Well "suka" meaning "often" tripped me up a lot.

The other words I mentioned all carry some twist on "for the sake of"/"for"/"to"/"towards"/"so that"/"in order to"

I don't know enough to be more specific than that though.

[tsuj1g1r1]

Wow, I've yet to encounter that "suka", but I'm sure it would have made me lose sleep at night! xD

[BenShaw495]

with "ter" verbs, "akan" is used as a preposition (like already said, a synonym for kepada). here are some other examples

'tea-filled' is a very awkward expression. 'This bottle of tea' or 'this bottle full of tea' would be better.

[joeldipops]

I would say slightly awkward, but not very awkward. Your suggestions are better though.

[joK8Un]

this is a terrible sentence and terrible translation..... you can get the general sense of the sentence but if you don't write it as Duo wants you get it wrong...

[LarsXensen]

Can it also be "bottle filled with this tea...?" Does ini have to refer to botol, not teh?

[lim832694]

yes it can. the "ini" in that sentence actually refers to "botol (yang terisi teh)".

[FrankVande832850]

This filled tea bottle..rather than tea filled bottle..?

[TarjeiGrnv]

I don't think so. It's a normal bottle filled with tea, not a bottle specifically for tea filled with any liquid. So it needs to be tea filled bottle.

[Haakon388572]

I don't understand why it can't be "The bottle filled with this tea".

[donny309620]

Another possible translation: "This bottled tea made me remember you".

[donny309620]

An alternate translation: "This tea-filled bottle reminds me of you."

[Akshmljpure]

I think this won't work here

[Lusiana722618]

Hah?? This tea filled bottle?? Koq tambah aneh saja

[Olip870233]

If you omit "akan" does the sentence meaning remain the same?

This made me want to give up and start a career as a clown to reflect the nature of the exception.

[Allverdizade]

Tidak dapatkah kata "Botol yang terisi teh ini membuat saya mengingat kamu"?

[Jin_peko]

LEBAY BGT

[CosmicRaph]

"The bottle filled with this tea" is no correct. Why ?

[JorisHeylen]

Why is "this bottle of tea makes me think of you" marked wrong?

[alphagamdeb]

Duo has neither introduced nor explained any of this lesson! More bad pedagogy.

[Hans726]

Why is it not "This bottle filled with tea will make me remember you"?
