Benny, sometimes I see 俺 being used instad of 我.
What is the difference between the two. Are they used in different situations?
Thanks!

| | Benny the Mandarin Teacher bennysland.com 2009-08-15 / 05:46PM | | Hi Lee Kong,
This is a local dialect which is used more in the north. And 俺 is usually used in the countryside
I don’t think people from the city will use this word.
