Questions & Answers about Kita rapat besok pagi di perpustakaan.
Why use kita instead of kami?
Indonesian has two words for we:
- kita = we including you (the listener)
- kami = we excluding you This sentence uses kita to include the listener in the meeting. If the listener isn’t included, use kami.
Is rapat a noun or a verb here?
It’s a noun meaning meeting, but Indonesian often uses nouns as verbs. In Kita rapat, rapat functions like “to have a meeting.” Alternatives:
- Kita ada rapat... (There is a meeting)
- Kita mengadakan rapat... (We hold a meeting; more formal)
Do I need akan to show the future?
No. Besok already shows future time. Kita (akan) rapat besok pagi... are both fine; akan adds a sense of planning or formality.
Could I say Ada rapat besok pagi di perpustakaan instead?
Yes. That means “There is a meeting tomorrow morning at the library,” without stating who attends. If you want to include the listener, keep kita: Besok pagi ada rapat di perpustakaan; kita ikut.
Is the order of time and place fixed?
