Cultural Note
Aku and kau are informal pronouns commonly used between close friends. Aku means “I/me”, while kau means “you”. Kau is a shortened form of engkau. These forms can sound too familiar or rude in the wrong situation, so learners should use them with people they know well rather than in polite or formal settings.
