"Her dog is lifted by Tini's daughter."

Translation: Anjingnya diangkat putri Tini.

[SiddharthaKrishn]

Shouldn't this be "Anjingnya diangkat oleh putri Tini". I think "oleh" is missing in this sentence. How to suggest to the designer of the website to correct it?

[Rick392366]

'oleh' can be omitted if the passive 'di-' verb is directly followed by the agent/actor.
'oleh' must be used if the passive 'di-' verb is followed something else than the agent/actor.
agent/actor = the one performing the action of the verb ==> 'putri Tini'.

Contoh:

1) Anjingnya diangkat (oleh) putri Tini.
2) Anjingnya diangkat (oleh) putri Tini ke kamar tidurnya.
3) Anjingnya diangkat ke kamar tidurnya oleh putri Tini.

ke kamar tidurnya = to her bedroom.

In sentence 1 and 2 , 'oleh' is optional.
In sentence 3, 'oleh' must be used.

Is this the kid from the earlier pregnancy? She grew up fast.

Is the dog lifted or promoted?

There have been many nonsense sentences in this app. How do we know it's not: her dog lifted tini's daughter?
