It sounds better to my English ears whether he works in a law court or a royal court but as I have just demonstrated, it is not wrong.

Reminder:
-
The prefix pe- and the affix -an are used to form nouns
-
Pengadilan means court / courthouse (legal term)
-
The root is adil (adjective) which means fair

Thank you adrianpop . I wish that duolingo would use the root words to build the course on. eg teach us 'fair' (adil) before 'court' (pengadilan). I appreciate the free Indo course very much, but find that I have to google a lot of the base words when adding the pe-an and other prefixes/suffixes. Would be easier to learn the new vocab if we had already learned the base word.
