sepatu already implies one pair of shoes. Sepatu-sepatu imply more than one pair of shoes. therefore if one says "aku punya sepatu" it is understood to mean "i've one pair of shoes"

I wrote "sepatu yang cokelat" but it was wrong. Is there a reason why 'yang' cannot be used here?

Sepatu yang coklat = the shoes that's brown, or the shoes in brown color.
Sepatu coklat = brown shoes.

My dictionary gives both spellings for both definitions ... except that the colour is described as chocolate colour; not brown.
