Very confusing.

[henkaipantomime]

how would you say "this new bathroom"?

[JaiBhagti]

I'm sorry. I don't understand the difference, or how the difference in adding the al is grammatically significant. This is a major weakness with duolingo. More explanation is needed for this, please.

Why can't it be written as "This bathroom is new"??????
Why always literal translation is required??

هذا حمام جدید

This is a new bathroom.

هذا الحمام جدید

"Al" is a definite article. When you are using "this" you are indicating a defined phenomenon. So, the word following "this" must have a definite article which in Arabic is "Al" (الـ).
