Definitions

1. pluralizing suffix (esp. for people and animals, formerly honorific)

This suffix is attached to pronouns or nouns referring to people to make them plural, similar to adding "-s" in English for a group. For example, attaching it to the word for "I" creates the meaning of "we," and attaching it to a name implies that person and the people around them.
