"They return to their home, that is, to Jakarta."

Translation: Mereka pulang ke rumahnya, yaitu ke Jakarta.

[RyanJustin2]

I thought pulang was already returning home from previous lessons

[IlseDens]

Yes, me too. Still wondering why they add the " ke rumahnya" here.

[drigoro2000]

Why rumahnya?

[Rick392366]

'-nya' can be suffixed and functions as a possessive, like this :

rumah mereka = rumahnya = their house

rumah dia = rumahnya = his/her house

[anothernobody]

I keep wanting to use "kembali". Is it possible since "rumahnya" makes it clear where they're going?

[kuyaC]

Is "rumah mereka" false?

[octavzlatior]

No, but I did not know nya can also work for mereka

[drigoro2000]

Thanks, I didn't know it could be used on "mereka".

[ChrisPwise]

"They return to their home, which is (in) Jakarta"

[evebergin1]

Where is return in this sentence?

[IlseDens]

Return (home) = pulang
