Tense lives in the verb ending

Indonesian shows time with sudah/akan/sedang; Italian bakes it into conjugation (parlo / ho parlato / parlerò). The verb form itself must change — a time word alone isn't enough.

Articles + gender (none in Indonesian)

Indonesian has no articles or gender; Italian needs il/la/un/una and agreement, with article forms that shift by the noun's first sound (lo zaino, gli amici).

Adjective after the noun (advantage!)

Indonesian already puts the adjective after the noun (rumah besar), and Italian mostly does too: "la casa grande". The order transfers — just add the agreement endings.

Plural by ending, not doubling

No buku-buku here: Italian pluralizes by swapping the final vowel (libro→libri, casa→case), and the plural is obligatory whenever there's more than one.

Gender + agreement

Articles and adjectives agree: il libro rosso / la casa rossa.

Article forms (il/lo/la/i/gli/le)

The article changes with the noun’s first sound (lo studente, gli amici).
