Yasu Shimizu Publishes an Article on – Why the Plural of ‘I’ Is ‘We’

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kashiwa, Chiba, Japan (August 27, 2016) – Yasu Shimizu, a well-versed linguist, clever writer, talented researcher, and the managing director of Japan Luggage Express (JLE), is excited to announce as well as inform everyone out there that he has recently published a thought-provoking, carefully researched, and highly informational linguistic article on the JLE website.

The post which is entitled “Why the plural of “I” is “We,’” carefully explains the writer’s view and speculation of others, as regards how the words ‘We’ or ‘Wi’ were coined from the first singular pronoun ‘i’ during the proto-Germanic ages (the ancestor language of English, German, and Scandinavian languages.)

This enlightening linguistic article by Yasu Shimizu can be found on his website via the following link – http://www.jluggage.com/linguistics/why-we-i.html

The article discusses the use of small letter ‘i’ and big letter ‘I’ right from the beginning of time when Roman letters emerged, to the advent of old English language, German language, Danish language, and others. It also sheds some light on how the first plural pronoun ‘We’ evolved from the combination of two i’s i.e. ii.

Speaking excitedly, Yasu Shimizu said; “Have you wondered why in English the first plural pronoun is “We” while the first singular pronoun is “I”? Look no further, this piece of writing will provide answers to your questions. Indeed, I am absolutely thrilled about my latest linguistic article, and I know that everyone that goes through it would be pleased and find it knowledgeable.”

He continued; “In the German language which has the same route as English, i.e. Proto-Germanic, the first personal plural pronoun is ‘Wir’ and in Danish it is ‘Vi’. In Danish ‘V’ is pronounced ‘wi’, thus ‘v’ is virtually a ‘w.’”

“Perhaps these show how the English word, “We” was made with its origin in the word “Wi” in the age of Proto-Germanic” Shimizu concluded.
