Watashi

Watashi?


Sono 1:
The word "watashi" refers to "I" or "me".. which I thought is somehow familiar to many, especially those anime/jdorama lovers
Descriptions: Can be used by anyone at any occasions, formal or not

However, do you know that there were a lot more words that we can used instead of "watashi"

Sono 2:
Boku..
Description: Means me, used by men/boys.
Example: Shin chan and L (in Death Note anime) used "boku"



Sono 3:
Ore..
(sounds like Oreo, minus the final 'o')
Description: Also refers to "I" or "me", but with a more masculine image.It differs to boku (see above) since ore has a more masculine and wilder image compared to boku. Boku has a more polite/softer impression.
Example: Naruto uses "ore".


Sono 4:
Watakushi
Descriptions: A very polite form of watashi, normally used by women from high ranked society/family.
