俺たち

We


Meaning

We, Us

Word Type

pronoun

Explanation

When たち is attached to a word referring to a person, it makes it plural. So, when you attach たち to 俺 (I), it means we or us. Just remember that 俺 is quite casual and rough sounding, so it's best to only use it with close friends (or when you're shaking someone down...).


Reading

おれたち

Explanation

The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.
