  • Tempat → pakai where:

    That's the warehouse where we store the products.

  • Kepemilikan → pakai whose:

  • 'that' / 'which' / 'who' boleh DIHILANGKAN bila menjadi OBJEK dari anak kalimat:

  • ❌ "The office which I work is downtown." → ✅ "The office where I work is downtown." (tempat → where)
  • ❌ "The client who order was late." → ✅ "The client whose order was late." (kepemilikan → whose)
