Inclusive and exclusive we forms. Look here: Oscar, Anna and Steven are in the same room. Steven says to Anna: We (inclusive) are better than Oscar. Let's leave him! Anna tells Oscar: We (exclusive) think we are better than you. Is it OK that we (exclusive) leave you? As you can see, inclusive we includes the listener, whereas exclusive we excludes him. This distinction is made in some real languages. You can read more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clusivity.
