How would you say "Is Tini's professor known by children"?

[Rick392366]

How would you say "Is Tini's professor known by children"?

Apakah profesornya Tini dikenal oleh anak-anak?

'-nya' is attached to the noun to show the possessive form (Tini's profesor).

[Allverdizade]

cool, thank you :)

[RobertStew949868]

This sentence doesn't make any sense

[WillRobins645796]

I agree, the English translation is unnatural.

[TeisDraiby]

Could this translate as "Do the children know professor Tini?"?
That would sound more natural to me.

[ChristianH559404]

No. That would be "Apakah anak-anak kenal profesor Tini?"

To be even more correct/formal, the meng- form of "kenal", "mengenal" should be used.

Note that "kenal" means to know in the sense having a certain level of aquaintance with someone or experience/exposure with/to something. "Tahu" should be used instead if you mean merely knowing who someone/something is.

[WillRobins645796]

So, Tini is now a professor. She is called Professor Tini. What abysmal English!!

[brucebirch]

I'm pretty sure there's some inconsistency here. I seem to remember trying to use -nya in previous exercises (e.g., bukunya Tini) and having that rejected. Also, if you want the 'profesor Tini' interpretation, 'profesor' should probably be capitalised: 'Profesor Tini'.

[Tokke9]

Tini is a professor? The whole Indonesian Dulingo soap with Tono, Tini and Andi is always good for new surprises

[El_Chamako]

Why "Is Tini's professor known by children?" wrong?

[ReachMeHer]

So Tini is a professor
