im just
the cherokee language has a verb tense that specifically notes the exclusion of a person in the conversation
so there’s i’m going, you’re going, we’re going, and we’re going (but not you)
i love it
This is called “clusivity” and it’s found a bunch of languages, including Chechen, Vietnamese, Samoan, and Quechua.
Some languages just side-eye harder than others.
