At least in German and dutch, "us" only refers to persons, as far as I know.
This situation:
Somebody is sitting on the roof, and his computer is right next to him. A
friend of him is looking for that person. Would the person say "do you see
us?", talking about the computer and himself?
I don't know if it's wrong, but somehow it sounds wrong.
Hm. I'm not sure.
There we see that while learning a foreign language, you start to think
about your native language.
Now that I think about it (that klingon has only one first person plural),
it just *must* be correct. In German or any other language I don't know either
how to say it.
Quvar.
