Questions & Answers about Saya suka belajar pemrograman robot di klub pemrograman.
In this sentence, what’s the nuance of saya compared with aku?
Saya is the neutral / polite word for I / me, suitable for almost any situation (talking to teachers, older people, strangers, in writing, etc.).
Aku is more informal and intimate. You use aku with close friends, family, or people the same age in relaxed situations.
You could say:
- Saya suka belajar pemrograman robot... – polite/neutral
- Aku suka belajar pemrograman robot... – casual/intimate
Both are correct; it’s just a question of formality and relationship.
Is suka a verb like to like in English, and can it also mean love or enjoy?
Yes. Suka behaves like a verb and is usually translated as to like.
- Saya suka belajar... = I like learning...
For stronger feelings:
- Cinta = to love (romantic, or deep love)
- Saya cinta kamu. = I love you.
- Sangat suka / suka sekali = really like, love (in a non-romantic sense)
- Saya sangat suka pemrograman. = I really like / I love programming.
For “enjoy”, Indonesians often still use suka, or phrases like:
- Saya senang belajar pemrograman. = I’m happy to / I enjoy learning programming.
So suka is your default for “like”, and often covers weaker in everyday speech.
