Questions & Answers about Kami kena hujan di peron.

What’s the difference between bolded words kami and kita? Which one fits here?

Both mean we, but:

• kami = we (not including you, the listener)
• kita = we (including you)

Use kami if the listener wasn’t there on the platform. If you’re telling someone who was with you, use kita.

What does kena mean here?

kena means to be affected by, to get, to be hit by (usually something undesirable or accidental). Examples:

• kena hujan = got rained on / caught in the rain
• kena denda = got a fine
• kena flu = caught a cold
• kena macet = got stuck in traffic
• kena tilang = got a traffic ticket
• kena marah = got told off

Can I say terkena hujan or kehujanan instead? What’s the difference?

• kena hujan: neutral, everyday; common in speech.
• terkena hujan: more formal/written; means the same as kena hujan.
• kehujanan: very idiomatic in conversation for got rained on (implies you ended up wet).

All three are correct; in casual speech kehujanan is often the most natural.
