japanese is a complicated language! ;)

watashi can mean 'I' or 'my' depending on the sentence!

watashi = I =formal
ore = I=male = informal
boku=I = female =informal

watashi = I =formal

There's also "atashi" ( female I)...though "boku" is a gender neutral term, not a female "I", and it is formal...

Post by: rameeziiii on December 22, 2011, 02:57:34 pm: What are you referring to, person above me?

And for those interested in learning conversational japanese, I'd suggest "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Conversational Japanese"...And yes, that's a real books name. They're a series, like the " -For Dummies" books.

And some other helpful things about japanese here:
