"Kamu siapa?"

Translation: Who are you?

[kathleenvaleri]

When would you use "kamu siapa" and when would you use "siapa kamu"?

[Tamalaki]

It's fine, whatever you use, the meaning is just same

[SuzyYu1]

Terima kasih banyak Tamalaki. That helps a lot. Question.... is one form more formal or it doesnt matter?

[FarisAufa1]

Kamu siapa/siapa kamu is informal. While if you want to use the formal form, you can use "Anda siapa?"

[IdulCandra]

Kamu siapa is informal style

[totheworld]

but isnt "siapa kamu?" considered a bit rude? i am a native speaker, maybe we would use "anda siapa?" instead

[Handrisuselo]

Both are correct and have the same meaning.

[SuzyYu1]

Terima kasih banyak Handrisuselo. That helps too. ^_^

[Brahmastha]

It's the same but "kamu siapa" is more polite

[deactivated user]

Please use the first one. The latter sounds rude.

[yohanesindonesia]

[IdulCandra]

Apa kabar?

[SeanYu9]

Is it rude to phrase it this way? It's grammatically correct but how about socially?

[Tamalaki]

Good point. Actually it is uncommon using that phrase in a conversation. The polite one as simple use 'Siapa namamu?'

[joannaaudrey]

Gramaticaly, the question markers like who (siapa), what (apa), how (bagaimana) are placed at the beginning of a sentence. But in the casual conversation the structure can be switch and the meaning will be the same.

[Atin201659]

Kok salah sih padahal sudah bener who are you?siapa kamu

[BughasFan]

Hi guys, I Indo ppl do not care if u use kamu siapa or siapa kamu ahahaha, we are chill

[deactivated user]

Siapa kamu sounds arrogant to the other person.
