we

  1. Pronoun.  (personal) The speakers/writers, or the speaker/writer and at least one other person.
  2. Pronoun.  (personal) The speaker/writer alone. (The use of ''we'' in the singular is the editorial we, used by writers and others, including royalty—the royal we—as a less personal substitute for ''I''. The reflexive case of this sense of ''we'' is ''ourself''.).
