We is the pronoun used by a speaker to refer to themselves together with one or more other people.
“We” comes from Old English “wē,” from Proto-Germanic “wiz” or “wejes.” It is related to similar pronouns in many Indo-European languages.
Choosing “we” instead of “I” instantly changes a sentence from personal to shared, like switching the camera from selfie mode to group mode. Politicians and teachers often use “we” to create a feeling of belonging—or sometimes to hide who’s really responsible.
