Hi Abhishek,
Good question! In all of your sample sentences, “suka” has the same meaning as “menyukai”; and “memiliki” has the same meaning as “mempunyai”. All your sample sentences are correct. Stick to this usages and you will be fine. They are the more common usage after all, as in you will hear such usage a lot. “suka” has more meanings in different class of speeches, and if you want to know, you can google them using keywords “suka kbbi”. KBBI is an online Indonesian dictionary.

Suka and Menyukai both means ''to like''.
Does it depends on the context? Eg- Saya Menyukai Burung yang itu.
and Saya tidak suka jamur.
How can we differentiate?
This is an off topic question but we use Saya Memeliki and Saya Mempunyai
eg- Saya Memeliki hobi ( I have hobby)
but we say- Saya mempunyai kucing. (I have cat)
So please tell me the differences and how to use them (in their context).
Berterima Kasih.
Hi Kevin,
Anda is a very formal form of "you."
It is not common to use in daily conversation. You will likely hear "Anda" from advertisement and formal speech.
But when you are talking to the boss or clients, you might want to use "Bapak" for Sir, and "Ibu" for Ma'am, instead of Anda.
And Kamu is an informal form of "you."
You can use "Kamu" when talking to your friends, and someone whose younger than you.
Let me know if you have more question. :wink: Thank you.
