Culture/Grammar Notes:
1. Pronouns are am important marker of status in Javanese culture — take extra caution to ensure you use the right ones. When in doubt, be extra polite!
2. People will often substitute third person pronouns for an honorific marker (Mas/Mbak/Ibu/Pak) + Name. For example, “Kowe arep nyang ngendi” (Mau ke mana?) would become “Mas Alex arep nyang ngendi.”
3. When people hear their name called, they may respond with “Kula?” or more rarely “dalem?.”
