Hello
Sinetron apa yang kamu sukai ? As you know means What kind of serial fim that you like ?
Adding -i at the end of suka as of in some other words like cinta-i (to love), sayang-i (to have caring feeling), and a lot more, is a colloquial habit we Indonesian like to do.
When forming a question, verbs (ex: suka) come at the of the sentence.
When a verb comes at the of the sentence, we Indonesian tend to like to add -i (or -in in some other words like boleh-in, gantung-in, etc) to the verb.
Another example :
Siapa yang kamu cinta ?
(Who is the person that you love ?
Just the same as :
Siapa yang kamu cintai ? (Colloquial)
Even though it is colloquial, it can be found on literature or formal text too.
That's it.
