'Saya' is the polite form of addressing yourself, while 'Aku' is more informal. You use 'saya' when talking to strangers, people who are older than you, your boss etc. You use 'aku' when talking to your close friends and family members.

'Saya' and 'aku' are both first person pronouns in Indonesian, meaning 'I' in English. While they both convey the same meaning, 'saya' is more formal and polite compared to 'aku' which is considered more casual and common in everyday conversations. Both are used interchangeably depending on the context and level of formality.
