FIL: Panghalip na panao sa kaukulang paari na tumutukoy sa 'kami' at hindi kasama ang kausap.
EN: our/ours (exclusive)
The ultimate "squad goals" pronoun. It's "ours," but *not including you*. When your barkada says, "Sa amin 'to," about a table at a coffee shop, it means you can't sit there. It's the verbal version of a velvet rope. It's different from 'atin', which is inclusive ('ours', including you).
This is the 'exclusive we' possessive pronoun. It contrasts with 'atin' (inclusive we). 'Amin' is used when the speaker and their group own/are associated with something, but the listener is not part of that group.
