"This cat walks slowly."

Translation: Kucing ini berjalan dengan lambat.

Can someone explain why we need "dengan" in that sentence?

[BlakeLongm]

It's a way to construct adverbs in Indonesian. Essentially, you can say (verb + dengan + adjective) and you get an adverb that modifies the verb. It's really quite flexible.

dia berjalan dengan berani untuk melawan monster itu => He walked bravely to fight that monster.

Are /lambat/ and /pelan/ completely interchangeable? I think /lambat/ is often used to mean 'late', whereas /pelan/ is less ambiguously 'slow'.

[frouk13]

“this cat walks the slowest” is “kucing ini berjalan dengan terlambat” ?

or could it be “kucing ini berjalan yang terlambat”?(being 6 months older “berjalan yang semakin terlambat” might be a better choice?)
