Some clarifications needed here, and perhaps those who know better should come forward and assist.

diri - self (look after yourself = menjaga diri anda)

sendiri - ownself (myself)

berdiri - stand

Diri sendiri /ku sendiri = by myself
Berdiri sendiri = standing alone
Diri aku = my life

Quite complicated hehe...

For a non-speaker it is a little bit complicated when it differs a fair bit to what we are used to when speaking English. That is why it is hard to explain the relationship between diri and sendiri as both can used separately or together. Didi can also mean life as in "Diri saya susah" which means my life is hard or I have a hard life.

Correct...diri is quite broad..can mean stand, or can mean life..

Diri is not stand, and most people use it incorrectly. It is berdiri which has been shortened. Diri is self, ownself or oneself and even one's life.

Correct..cause usually they use shortcut.for eg Pergi diri disana instead of pergi berdiri di sana...
