we, indonesian often get difficulties to differ the usage of "in" and "on". and "at" makes more complicated for us to understand. in indonesian, we just say "di" to describe something inside or attached.

It is very difficult I'm sure. Sometimes I think English has too many words. 'Di' sounds much simpler.

The English prepositions can be very difficult. Even I get confused. Di seems a much simpler way.

@nawala123 Nice and easy. Tenses are my downfall in learning foreign languages.

"di" is the most often used, even some times we use other option, like ,"di sekitar" which shows uncertain or unsure , around, l

The English language has its tricky expressions and it takes time to learn to use them well.
