Comparing 人家 ("ren2jia") and 别人 ("bie2ren2")

“人家”和“别人”都可以指代说话人和听话人以外的人，但“人家”还有特殊用法：可以指“自己”（尤其用于撒娇或亲密语气），也可以用于前面提到的某个人（特指）。而“别人”只泛指其他人，没有特指或自指的用法。

Both '人家' and '别人' can refer to people other than the speaker and listener, but '人家' has additional uses: it can refer to oneself (especially in a coquettish or intimate tone), or refer back to a previously mentioned person (specific reference). In contrast, '别人' only means 'other people' in a general sense, without specific or self-referential uses.

“人家”常用于口语，可表示“别人”或“他/她/他们”，也可用于女子自称（撒娇或亲密语气），或指代上文提到的人。“别人”则用于泛指其他人，不带有情感色彩，也不特指。注意：在需要区分性别或情感时，用“人家”更合适；在客观陈述或避免歧义时，用“别人”更合适。

'人家' is often used in spoken language, meaning 'others' or 'he/she/they', and can also be used by a woman to refer to herself (with a coquettish or intimate tone), or to refer back to someone mentioned earlier. '别人' is used for other people in a general sense, without emotional nuance or specificity. When needing to express gender or emotion, '人家' is better; for objective statements or clarity, '别人' is appropriate.
