It is simmilar to the "royal we", but in contrast to the English language where "royal we" is used by e.g. the king/queen, Pluralis Majestatis is also used by someone speaking to or about said royal. | |

| Aug 5, 2021 at 6:34 | comment | added | user6495 | If you teach German as a second language, please don't do this. It's fine to be inventive but not helpful to your students. After all, no native speaker would understand this as it is not an accepted approach in their language. | |
