Hi, Guy,
As Eric has said some of the languages of the world have different pronouns and/or verbal affixes for "we exclusive" and
"we inclusive".
But Greek and English do not have this distinction, so it is something you have to get from the context, if it is
relevant or important.

Subject: Distinguishing the "we"
Dear Sirs,
I am a beginner in koine greek. I am just studying from the
textbooks of my father.
My question is how to distinguish between the “we” that includes
the person/s who are listening to the
speaker, and the “we” that does NOT include the listeners (only the
group accompanying the speaker).
Thank so much for your answer.
Guy Gavero
