Learn Tagalog "For us" (including me?) Part 5

  it's para sa ATIN (not NATIN)

ATIN and AMIN go together, the same as NATIN and NAMIN.

Thank you so much!You're wonderful!

As for the inclusive and exclusive "us" we,in indo-european old very old times,also had this kind of "thing" actually,we had the exact "we" but it is called in linguistics dual you/us.We gave up to this dual a long time ago.Watch this out:let's take indo-european root for  "to carry" *ber-.We carry

we (you and me,but not the all family and friends=we the two of us only,we both) it goes like *bérowos

we(all of us,including you,so no exclusion after all) it goes like *béromos

But,latin language excluded that kind of dual us/you and put it all together.Remember why?Romans were pretty on getting the whole world together,so no more exclusion,be it respectful or not!They finnally managed to get many "us"es and very big "me"s got in after.It's a sort of pronouns balance.Yeah,we(including you,lol) made our choices tagalog people speaking didn't make that choice.I believe they still have a profound respect for people,since they do respectful separation in "we" it is respectful,but ...Occidental might not really understand lol!Since we

lost that way of talking.Hummm,...Interesting!

Thanks again,and sorry for my theories...

Bye :)
