What does kita mean in English?

"Kita" is an Indonesian and Malay word that means "we" or "us".

It's important to note that it's not directly translated as "we" in English, but rather represents a more inclusive "we" that includes the speaker and the listener(s), unlike the English "we" which can be used in a more formal or impersonal way.

For example:

* "Kita harus pergi sekarang." (Kita = We) -> We should leave now.

* "Kita bisa makan di sana." (Kita = We) -> We can eat there.

If you're unsure whether "kita" is appropriate, you can always replace it with a more formal "kami" (we) in Indonesian.
