Chinese Personal Pronouns
First person
I, me；我；wǒ
We, us；我們[们]；wǒ men
Second person
You；你；nǐ
You (plural)；你們；nǐ men
You (by honorific)；您；nín
You (plural) (by honorific)；您們；nín men
＊「您 nín」is for conveying esteem, courtesy, or respect.
People use it when talking to the elders, supervisors, teachers, or customers.
Third person
He, she, him, her；他；tā
They, them；他們；tā men
＊In Mandarin, we do not distinguish "Third person" by gender. It's different with English.
＊In modern Mandarin, some people would write the Chinese character「他」as「她」to indicates "females".
It changes the radicals(部首 bù shǒu) from "human"(亻 rén) to "female"(女 nǚ).
But we should not write this way in formal documents.
