ID: QW0144
Elementary
Today we're going back to a fundamental concept in Chinese. When you're talking to or about two or more people, you will want to use this little but important pronoun: 们 (men). The team will also be exploring instances in which 们 (men) is used, but perhaps not terribly obvious. We hope y'all find this helpful!
