Week 10

Ha..One week of holiday, but still there is no time tolearn more Chinese. However, i did managed to find some background information about the Chinese language..
In standard Mandarin, the pronoun wǒmen 我們 "we", which is the plural of the pronoun wǒ 我 "I", is indefinite like its English counterpart. However, in northern Mandarin dialects there is an additional pronoun, zánmen 咱們, which is inclusive. In these dialects, wǒmen 我們 is exclusive.
