Comment on These dames wanting inclusivity

  Yeah it doesn’t make much sense logically though. Men here is 们, the plural marker for people. Wo (我) is I or me, women (我们) we or is, ni (你) is you, nimen (你们) is you (plural), ta (他/她/它) is he/she/it, and taken (+们) is they. Some other variants exists, and there’s specifics on the usage.

    They say fluency happens when you make your first cross language pun, so riffing on a mediocre meme feels like halfway there.

  Correct; wo, ni, ta are the singular forms I, you, he/she/it. Adding the -men suffix turns it into the plural we/you/they.

  So literally, ‘we’ are ‘women’.
