siapa

"Siapa" means "who" in English.


In this sentence, 'siapa' functions as an interrogative pronoun to ask about the identity of a person.

Siapa yang datang ke pesta tadi malam?

Who came to the party last night?


Here, 'siapa' serves as an embedded question within a larger sentence, still questioning the identity of a person.

Saya tidak tahu siapa yang menelepon saya tadi.

I don't know who called me earlier.


In this example, 'siapa' introduces a relative clause, specifying the subject of an action.

Di lain kesempatan, mari kita lihat siapa yang dapat menyelesaikan tugas ini dengan benar.

On another occasion, let us see who can complete this task correctly.
