Two Words for “We”
rogersgeorge on April 6th, 2023
Out in the other side of the Pacific someplace is a pidgin language with two words for ‘we,” and I think the words make a useful difference. One word is “youme,” which includes the speaker and the person being spoken to, and the other is “mefella,” which includes the speaker and others, but not the person being spoken to.
This comic gets its humor from the distinction between these to variants. Can you tell which versions of “we” are which?
