Questions & Answers about Kami berlatih keterampilan berbicara setiap sore.

What is the difference between kami and kita? Could I use kita here instead of kami?

Both mean we, but they differ in inclusiveness:

• kami = we (excluding the person being spoken to)
  
  • Used when the listener is not part of the group.
• kita = we (including the person being spoken to)
  
  • Used when the listener is part of the group.

In Kami berlatih keterampilan berbicara setiap sore, the sentence implies:

• “We practice speaking skills every afternoon (but you are not part of this group).”

If you want to include the listener (e.g. a teacher talking to a class, or a group member speaking to other members), you would say:

• Kita berlatih keterampilan berbicara setiap sore.
  → We (you and I / all of us here) practice speaking skills every afternoon.

Both are grammatically correct; the choice depends on whether the listener is part of “we” or not.

How do we know the tense? Could this sentence mean “we practiced” or “we will practice”?

Indonesian verbs generally do not change form for tense (past, present, future). Tense is understood from context and from time expressions.

• Kami berlatih keterampilan berbicara setiap sore.
  • Literally: We practice speaking skills every afternoon.
  • The phrase (“every afternoon”) makes it sound like a (something done regularly).
