"Ayah bekerja di pengadilan."

Translation: Father works in a court.

[_adrianpop_]

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.

Father works in court sounds more correct to my American ear.

Me too eliminating "a" sounds better

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.

'Father works in a courthouse" is a better translation
