אנחנו

Hebrew

אֲנַחְנוּ • (anákhnu) m pl or f pl

We; the subject form of the first-person plural personal pronoun.
וְנִהְיֶה אֲנַחְנוּ וְצֶאֱצָאֵינוּ וְצֶאֱצָאֵי עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל כֻּלָּנוּ יוֹדְעֵי שְׁמֶךָ וְלוֹמְדֵי תוֹרָתְךָ לִשְׁמָהּ.
v'nihyé anákhnu v'tse'etsa'éinu v'tse'etsa'éi amkhá beit yisra'él kulánu yod'éi shmékha v'lomdéi torotkhá lishmá.
May we, and all our offspring, and all the offspring of your nation the House of Israel, all of us be knowers of your name and learners of your Torah for her name.

This term does not change form to reflect gender; any adjective or present-tense verb will agree with the implicit gender of its referents (masculine for a group of men or for a mixed group of men and women, feminine for a group of women).
In formal, archaic, and poetic speech and writing, the synonymous form אנו (ánu, “we”) is often found instead.
This word is somewhat less common than its English counterpart, since in Hebrew the subject pronouns are typically omitted in the past and future tenses.

^ The form אנוכי / אָנֹכִי (anokhí) occurs many times in the Hebrew Bible, but is basically obsolete today. ^ In Modern Israeli Hebrew, the form אָנוּ (ánu, “we”) is the more formal, אֲנָחנוּ (anákhnu) the more colloquial. ↑ ^3.0 ^3.1 In colloquial Modern Israeli Hebrew, the nominally masculine forms אַתֶּם (atém) and הֵם (hem) are sometimes taken as gender-neutral and substituted for אַתֶּן (atén) and הֵן (hen), this is sometimes considered incorrect.
