How to Use It

Notas de uso

While 'sini' can stand alone, it's often preceded by prepositions like 'di' (at/in/on) or 'ke' (to) to specify direction or exact location (e.g., 'di sini' - at here, 'ke sini' - to here).

Erros comuns

Confusing 'sini' with 'sana' or 'situ'. Remember 'sini' is always 'here'.
Forgetting to use 'ke' when indicating movement towards a place (e.g., 'Ayo ke sini' instead of 'Ayo sini' when meaning 'Let's go here').
