"I eat here."

Translation: Saya makan di sini.

[JadasS]

Is "di" always mandatory in this type of sentences?

[adi._]

yes,

di sini = here

di sana = there

[HunterK721479]

So if di sini= here.

What does sini=?

[Saadfd]

Di sini = here/in here/at here
Ke sini = to here
(Ke) Sini! = Come here! (Informal)

The word "sini" rarely used alone without preposition "di" or "ke"

[John545822]

Can't sini be accepted?

[SimonDyett]

Indonesians often drop 'di' eg 'makan sini'. Its the way i naturally type it but the app only wants the proper way

[HunterK721479]

So if here means sini. Why is that not accepted as well?
