Japanese First-Person Pronouns Taught by Japanese VTuber! | 一人称

Let's learn about the unique characteristics of Japanese first-person pronouns in this video! In just 20 minutes, you’ll discover which "I" to use in different situations from options like "私 (watashi)," "私 (watakushi)," "あたし (atashi)," "俺 (ore)," "僕 (boku)," "うち (uchi)," "わし (washi)," and "わい (wai)." You’ll also learn how each of these pronouns can affect the impression you give to others and how polite or casual your speech becomes depending on which one you choose. Can the first-person pronouns you hear in anime be used in real life? What are the key points when using them in combination with keigo (polite speech)? This video will help you speak more naturally and appropriately in Japanese, making sure you're prepared for any conversation! 💜Japanese lessons on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/NakoMoonVT (I'm streaming Japanese lessons every week!) 📚Daily Japanese learning posts on Twitter https://twitter.com/NakoMoonVT https://bsky.app/profile/nakomoonvt.bsky.social 💬You can ask Nako about Japanese language on Discord https://discord.gg/uCQSaYb5MF 🎉Nako Moon merch on sale!
