Questions & Answers about Kami pasti bertemu tatap muka besok, kecuali cuaca buruk.
What’s the difference between kami and kita here?
- kami = we (excluding the person you’re speaking to).
- kita = we (including the person you’re speaking to).
Using kami implies you’re telling a third party about a meeting that doesn’t include them. If you’re speaking to the person you’ll meet, say: Kita pasti bertemu tatap muka besok...
Do I need akan to talk about the future?
No. besok already marks the future.
- Natural: Kami pasti bertemu besok...
- Also fine (a bit heavier/more formal): Kami pasti akan bertemu besok...
Order tip: say pasti akan, not akan pasti.
Where should pasti go?
- Default: before the verb phrase: Kami pasti bertemu...
- Emphatic (sentence-initial): Pasti kami bertemu...
- After the verb sounds odd: Kami bertemu pasti... is unnatural.
Is bertemu tatap muka redundant? Doesn’t bertemu already imply in person?
Not necessarily. Today bertemu can be in person or online. tatap muka clarifies it’s in-person.
