10 mins confidence: 
the house is in a very bad condition, alternatively, the condition of the house is very bad Explanation: Indeed, one of the meanings of "teruk" is severe, and while the house cannot be severe, it is actually describing the condition of the house, which is bad, dilapidated. I am deducing that it is "in a very bad condition" so as to have adverse effects on the child. I hope this helps. |
