Questions & Answers about Kami belajar bahasa Indonesia setiap hari.

Why is kami used instead of kita?

In Indonesian, kami is used when the speaker and at least one other person are included, but the person you’re talking to is not included. Kita is used when everyone, including the listener, is included. Since the example presumably refers to a specific group (excluding the person being spoken to), kami is appropriate.

What does belajar mean in this context?

Belajar generally means “to learn” or “to study.” In this sentence, it indicates the action of acquiring knowledge or studying the Indonesian language.

Is bahasa always used before mentioning a language?

Yes, when referring to a language in Indonesian, you typically use the word bahasa before the name of the language. For example, bahasa Inggris (“English”), bahasa Jepang (“Japanese”), and so on.

How do you pronounce setiap?

You can break it down as se-ti-ap. The sounds are:
• se = like “suh” in English,
• ti = like “tee,”
• ap = like “up” but with a short “a.”

So altogether it sounds like “suh-TEE-up.”

What does setiap hari mean exactly?

Setiap means “every,” and hari means “day.” So setiap hari literally translates to “every day.” It emphasizes the daily frequency of the activity.
