Questions & Answers about Kami berangkat dari stasiun lama setelah hujan reda.

Why does it use kami and not kita?

Kami means we (but not you)—it excludes the listener. Kita means we (including you).
So Kami berangkat... suggests the speaker’s group left, and the person being spoken to was not part of that group.

What does berangkat mean, and how is it different from pergi?

Berangkat is to depart / to leave (on a trip, from a starting point) and often sounds more “travel-like” or scheduled.
Pergi is the more general to go / to leave.
So berangkat dari stasiun is very natural because a station is a departure point.

Is berangkat transitive? Do I need an object after it?

No. Berangkat is typically intransitive (no direct object).
You usually add extra information with prepositional phrases like:

• berangkat dari
  • place (from)
• berangkat ke
  • destination (to)
• berangkat pada/jam
  • time (at)

Why is dari used here, not di?
