Ada usually indicates possession. It’s like has/have.
It can also mean exists.
Question: Ada pen tak? (Literally: have pen, no? Or: do you have a pen)
Answer: Ada. (Have.)
Terdapat - there is/ there are.
Terdapat enam buah kereta di situ.
There are 6 cars there.
Ada 6 kereta disitu
6 cars exist there
You can use ada in the second sentence. But you cant use terdapat in the first sentence.

Are “terdapat” and “mempunyai” interchangeable with “ada” in most of the cases?
