mēs

No senākas un izloksnēs saglabātas formas mes, kurā patskanis pagarināts. Tā mantota no protobaltuslāvu *mes un saistīta ar senām indoeiropiešu formām vārdam mēs, bet netiešie locījumi pārveidoti pēc jūs parauga.

For English lets, dont hunt for mēs. Ejam pie manis can be let's go to my place, and mēs ejam pie manis is more like we are going to my place

Mēs also does not say if the listener is inside the we. If it matters, Latvians just spell the group out: mēs ar tevi, mēs ar jums, mēs ar Annu. That bit feels odd in English but its normal Latvian.

my teacher kept crossing out my extra mēs. If the verb already says first person plural, šodien strādājam no mājām is fine. Put mēs back when you mean WE, not those other people.
