Disfigurement very important so he can't rival Hegseth's insta account

Good

It's been very low recently so probably not something to fade right now

Bond vol having a moment

Also koran means "newspaper". Unsure where that comes from because "book" is just buku

Nice link to Turkish in that c appears to be pronounced as a "j" so "to read" is membaca which is pronounced "membaja"

"you" can be kamu or anda or Anda

There is a plural "you" which is kalian

"He" and "she" and I presume "it" can be dia or ia

So we've just had the first complexity. It seems that there are different versions of pronouns and it doesn't seem to have any relation to case.

"I" can be saya or atu or even Atu. As ever Duolingo doesn't explain why

And for words like mine or yours we have to use the verb "to have"

So "the orange is mine" is jeruk punya saya or literally "orange have me"

Bonds trading like shit. First time round it was bunds and gilts leading. Now it's Treasuries

Surely people should be more upset that they're removing a woman from all the banknotes and replacing her with a man

Question words can be placed at the start or the end of a sentence "what is your name?" is nama kamu siapa? but could equally be siapa nama kamu?

The word order is important because saya jeruk means "I am an orange"

Possessives are simply used like the adjectives that they are

"My orange" is jeruk saya or literally "orange I"

Also like most languages so far, there is no gender. "He" and "she" are both dia

It appears that the binding constraint on a rogue executive's policy option set isn't congress or anything so prosaic as the people's electoral will -- it is what the market will allow him to do.

Trump talks shit and people just believe him

He's also flexing and showing he can move the markets

And amazingly we've got as far as compounding verbs and you just say one after the other

Saya suku minum air means "I like to drink water" in that exact order

Nice and easy so far!

Plurals, thus far, are the same as singular nouns

Apel can be "apple" or "apples"

Articles also come after nouns and there is no difference between "the" and "that"

Kucing itu hitam could equally be "the black cat" or "that cat is black"

Some initial observations:
