They help us avoid repetition and make our sentences more concise and natural. In Indonesian, there are six personal pronouns: saya, kamu, dia, kami, kalian, and mereka. Let's explore each of these pronouns and learn how to use them in sentences.

As you can see from the examples, "saya" is used before the verb to indicate the subject of the sentence.
