僕ら

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 僕ら is read ぼくら and means we, a group including the speaker. It combines 僕 with the group-marking ら.
• Basic usage: It is used familiarly for friends who played together or people in one's own town.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Register and group membership
  • 僕 is a familiar first-person form used mainly by male speakers, but 僕ら does not imply that every group member is male. 私たち(わたしたち) may suit a more formal setting.
