Questions & Answers about Kami ingin makan dan rapat sekaligus di kafe.

What’s the difference between Kami and Kita?

• Kami = we (excluding the person you’re talking to).
• Kita = we (including the person you’re talking to).
• If you’re inviting the listener, use Kita: e.g., Kita ingin/mau makan dan rapat…

Is ingin the same as mau (and pengin/pengen)?

• Ingin: polite/neutral, a bit more formal.
• Mau: very common and neutral in speech; less formal.
• Pengin/pengen/pingin: casual/slangy. All three can fit here: Kami ingin/mau/pengin makan dan rapat…

Do I need untuk after ingin (e.g., ingin untuk makan)?

No. Say ingin makan, not “ingin untuk makan.” Untuk is fine after other verbs like berniat untuk, but with ingin it’s usually redundant.

Is rapat a verb or a noun here?

Rapat is a noun (“a meeting”), but Indonesian often uses nouns as predicates: kami rapat = “we have a meeting.” More explicit options:

• mengadakan rapat / melakukan rapat
• ada rapat (“there’s a meeting”)

Why not use merapat or berapat?
