It's interesting how Indonesian being an Austronesian language has 'suka', which looks like a cognate with Japanese 'suki' as they have the same meaning.

[AVAX3M]

Exactly what I thought.

Why can't 'My cat' be translated as 'Kucing saya'?

[AVAX3M]

It can be.

[najwamutiaraila]

That's right, but sounds formal

[Tirpude]

Kucing saya suka bola bola ini. This answer wasn't accepted, what's wrong with it?

[nani158528]

what's the difference between one 'bola' and 'bola-bola'?

[S9N1t]

"Bola" leaves it open as to whether it's one or many. "Bola-bola" specifies it's plural.
On the desktop version of Duolingo, there are lesson notes you can read before you start the lesson - so very useful! I gather from Googling it that they are gradually adding notes to the mobile app, but they're not there yet for Indonesian.

[Brii264464]

Why is: kucing kucing saya here not accepted?
