====Usage notes====
* ''kita'' is used to refer to the speaker for:
** someone of (almost) the same age (e.g., to friends)
** siblings, sometimes also cousins, doesn't matter if they are biological or not.
** younger (e.g., when a teacher prefer to refer themself with ''kita'' for their students, instead of {{m|max|saya}}).
* Meanwhile, in formal situations or for those are older (e.g., a student to their teacher), the speaker uses {{m|max|saya}}.
* Instead of using the personal pronouns, the speaker usually use their name when refer to themself for their parents, grandparents, and sometimes their (older) cousins (also, doesn't matter if they are biological or not).
* The short form {{m|max|ta}} cannot be used as an accusative object because it will sound ungrammatical for many speakers.
