Learning Japanese is quite interesting and basically needs a lot of time and effort for you to be able to speak the Language well.
On this blog, I want to share some of the basic words (kotoba) I've learned from the time I started to study japanese.
My objective is to list the most common and important japanese used in daily conversation.
At the end of the day, I'll make sure that anyone who reads my blog will gain some knowledge and a very rewarding experience on this site.
With that said, Here we go!
Lesson One: Japanese Pronouns
Japanese has a huge variety of personal pronouns, words for "I" and "you"
I list some of them below:
The words listed above are the common ones.
But these words vary depending on the speaker as what you can see on the table below:
and here are some words used for the "YOU" depending on the situation/speaker
and for the word "WE", please see below
Those are the words commonly used in daily conversation pertaining to the speaker and the listener.
Now how about if Your talking to someone (a third person) as they would say.
In English we either used the Name of the person we're talking about or we would use the Pronoun as "He and She"
So what is the Japanese term for "He and She"
Basically, The Japanese have no word for she or he like we have in English.
They usually use the name of the person with a suffix like -san, -kun, or -chan, etc. instead.
Example: Kimi - san,
Eiji - kun,
Masami - chan
But I heard people using the word "Kare" for He/Him and "Kanojo" for She/Her.
Example:
He is taller than Her
Kare wa Kanojo yori se ga takai desu.
But most often Kanojo means girlfriend and kare or kareshi means boyfriend.
Example:
I dont have a boyfriend
Kareshi wa imasen
Do you have a girlfriend?
Kanojo wa imasu ka?
There are more Pronouns used aside from the one I listed above but as you go along with your studies, You will encounter them one by one.
For now, That's all from me.
