goar (我 ; I; me )

goarn (阮 ^† ; we (exclusive) ), gurn

usually means "we" (not including listener). Can also mean you (singular) in a polite manner. For example, "How are we doing today?" to really mean "How are you doing today?"
"Lie aix khix tøfui?" (normal)
A girl asks her boyfriend, "Goarn aix khix tøfui?" (polite). Equivalent to "Lie aix..." but it's more inclusive.

my, our, as in goarn-taw, goarn-amar
Gurn- is more common in the north
Goarn- is used in the south (Tafkao, Tailaam)
- However, in Tailaam, goarn- is used by males; females use gurn-

larn (咱 ^† ; we (inclusive) )

The inclusive "larn" may be used to express politeness or solidarity, as in the example of a speaker asking a stranger "Where do we live?", but meaning "Where do you live?".
- Speaker asks stranger, "Larn toax ti tøfui?"
- Speaker means, "Lie toax ti tøfui?" in a polite manner.
