Pronunciation

Audio: (file)
Hyphenation: men
Rhymes: -ɛn, -ən

Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch men, an unstressed variety of man (“man”). Accordingly, originally pronounced with [ə]; now predominantly with a full vowel [ɛ], especially in those areas where the word is chiefly literary. Compare German man, Middle English men (indefinite pronoun).

Pronoun

men

(indefinite, subject) one, you, they, everyone; humanity, (the) people, the public opinion
Men zegt dat... ― People say that.... It is said that...

Men weet nooit wat er gaat gebeuren. ― You never know what’s going to happen.

Usage notes

When not used as a subject, men must be replaced with je (“you”) or sometimes ze (“them”).
The word as such is very common in Limburg and some other areas, where it is part of the local dialects. Elsewhere it is not downright rare but perceived as formal and predominantly replaced with je and ze even as a subject (similarly to English one).

Nonstandard spelling of mén.
Nonstandard spelling of mèn.
Nonstandard spelling of mê̄n.

Usage notes

《汉语拼音方案》 (Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet) defines a standard pronunciation for each letter in Hanyu Pinyin with Zhuyin. ㄝ (/⁠ɛ⁠/) typically only occurs in syllables with an initial glide (e.g. ㄧㄝ (-ie /⁠i̯ɛ⁠/)), where it is romanized as e. When it occurs in syllables without an initial glide, however, it is romanized as ê in order to distinguish it from ㄜ (-e /⁠ɤ⁠/). Such instances are rare, and are only found in interjections or neologisms.
Transcriptions of Mandarin into the Latin script often do not distinguish between the critical tonal differences employed in the Mandarin language, using words such as this one without indication of tone.
