"My uncle is my aunt's husband."

Translation: Paman saya adalah suami tante saya.

[adesdas]

I don't understand how to know about the word order in this sentence.

Why "my aunt's husband" is:

suami tante saya

and cannot be

tante saya suami

What is the rule?

Thx

When do we use the "adalah" and when do we leave it out?

[DiegoJaviUnlam]

Halo teman! The word "adalah" is a predicate marker. So, when the subject is known, it can be dropped, but the speaker would use a stop, a pause in the place of "adalah".

This sentence would be:

Paman saya (pause) suami tante saya.

I hope it it helps.

Selamat belajar! :)

I like your explanation. I usually tell people to use adalah for emphasis the subject. I like you explanation better.

Thanks, your comment really cleared up my adalah confusion.

Pamanku adalah suami kepada tanteku shd be correct

why not Pamannya instead of Paman saya?

[Karthik03121811]

Pamanya indicate someone's uncle and "not mine. Mine are defined as "ku", äku", "saya"

Okay, thank you
