Etymology 1
From Middle Dutch men, an unstressed variety of man (“man”). Accordingly, originally pronounced with [?]; now predominantly with a full vowel [?], especially in those areas where the word is chiefly literary. Compare German man, Middle English men (indefinite pronoun).
Pronoun
men
- (indefinite, subject) One, you, they, everyone; humanity, (the) people, the public opinion
Usage notes
- When not used as a subject, men must be replaced with je (“you”) or sometimes ze (“them”).
- The word as such is very common in Limburg and some other areas, where it is part of the local dialects. Elsewhere it is not downright rare but perceived as formal and predominantly replaced with je and ze even as a subject (similarly to English one).
