Women implies the existence of nimen and tamen
Hmm. Wōmen... Men of Wō... I don't mean to be racist but their triads freak me out.
Mmmmm... ramen
Ooo help me learn today if you don't mind... Where does this prefix grouping come from?
Edit: found it, I think: Chinese?
Correct; wo, ni, ta are the singular forms I, you, he/she/it. Adding the -men suffix turns it into the plural we/you/they.
So literally, ‘we’ are ‘women’.
