rambling about Tagalog in honor of language day!
you know how languages have a singular and a plural version of "you" and "I" and oftentimes they also have connotations of informal/formal?
In Tagalog there are more than just two. I'm certain this isn't exclusive to Tagalog, but it's something I noticed and I love thinking about its implications. so there's ikaw (you, singular) and kayo (you, plural).
however, we also have tayo, which means we/us, plural, and includes both speakers in the conversation. then there's the word kami, which means we/us, plural, and excludes the person you're conversing with.
I'm sure other languages have something similar but I've always thought this was a neat thing, and sad that it doesn't seem to have an equivalent in the English language because I always felt that clarity in specific instances and some very specifically devastating insults were being missed out on
