Questions & Answers about Kami sepakat pulang bareng setelah rapat.

Why is kami used instead of kita here?

Indonesian has two words for “we”:

• kami = we (not including the person spoken to) → exclusive
• kita = we (including the person spoken to) → inclusive

Kami sepakat pulang bareng setelah rapat implies that the speaker and some other people agreed, but the listener is not part of that group.

If the listener was also part of the group that agreed, you would say:

• Kita sepakat pulang bareng setelah rapat.
  We (you and I and others) agreed to go home together after the meeting.

What exactly is sepakat here: a verb (“to agree”) or an adjective (“in agreement”)?

In Indonesian, sepakat can function both as:

1. A stative verb (very common in usage):

   • Kami sepakat pulang bareng.
     → We agree(d) to go home together.

2. An adjective-like word meaning “in agreement”:

   • Kami sudah sepakat.
     → We are already in agreement.

There is no conjugation like in English (agree / agreed). Context and time words (sudah, akan, tadi, nanti) show whether it’s past, present, or future.

You can think of sepakat as “agree / be in agreement,” depending on the sentence, but you don’t change its form.
