2. we; us

Usage notesEdit

• It is a good idea to use ta to translate the English "generic you (anyone)".
• ta (“I; me”) is now only used especially in literary or translation works, to convey hostility between the characters, as alternatives (such as tao) may sound awkward. It is corresponding to mi (informal) or ngươi (formal).
