<p>Notes:</p>
<p>咱们 ''zánmen'' is called an "inclusive pronoun", it means "we" in the sense of "including you, the person with whom I am speaking". It is used often in the Northern dialects of Chinese. Using 咱们 ''zánmen'' correctly will give your speech an authentic feel if you are in Northern China.</p>
<p>我们 ''wǒmen'' has both an inclusive "me and you" and exclusive "us without you" meaning. When all else fails, use 我们 ''wǒmen.''</p>
<p>Grammar geeks should note that 咱们 ''zánmen'' can not be an object of a verb, it can only be used as the subject of a sentence.</p>
