I can make us dinner vs I can make you dinner

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'I can make us dinner' implies that the speaker will prepare a meal for both themselves and the listener. On the other hand, 'I can make you dinner' suggests that the speaker will cook a meal specifically for the listener and that they will not be eating together. The choice between the two depends on whether the speaker intends to include themselves in the meal or focus solely on the listener.
