Questions & Answers about Kami mendaftar ke kelas lanjutan secara daring.
What’s the difference between the pronouns kami and kita?
Both mean we/us, but:
- kami excludes the listener (we but not you).
- kita includes the listener (we including you). In the sentence, kami implies the listener did not register with the group.
Why use mendaftar and not daftar or mendaftarkan?
- mendaftar = to register (intransitive, you register yourself).
- daftar = colloquial verb for register; also a noun meaning list.
- mendaftarkan [object] = to register someone/something (transitive). Examples:
- Kami mendaftar ke kelas lanjutan. We registered for the advanced class.
- Kami mendaftarkan adik kami ke kelas lanjutan. We registered our younger sibling for the advanced class.
- Colloquial: Kami daftar kelas lanjutan.
Why is the preposition ke used? Could I use untuk, di, or pada?
- ke marks the target of the registration (register to/for a class). Very common: mendaftar ke kelas/universitas.
- untuk emphasizes purpose. Mendaftar untuk kelas lanjutan is also common and natural.
- di/pada mark a place or platform: mendaftar di situs X, mendaftar pada panitia (formal). Less natural with a class as target. Summary: ke or untuk are both fine here; choose di/pada when focusing on where you register.
