Pronouns

Pronouns are not used nearly as much in Japanese as they are in English. Often the pronoun is used once and then after (until the topic shifts to someone else) the pronoun is dropped. Still they are very important!

Learn watashi and anata well	tachi and ra are endings that indicate plurality! Easy! :)
I - わたし watashi	WE - わたしたち watashi tachi
YOU - あなた anata	YOU - あなたたち anata tachi
HE - かれ kare SHE - かのじょ kanojo IT - IT isn't used but in IT's place sore (that) is often used -- Don't worry! Remember to breath!	THEY - かれら kare ra

NOTE:

	Another meaning of kare (he) is actually "boyfriend" and kanojo is "girlfriend"!
	When the meaning is obvious, the pronoun is usually dropped. Both of the following is clear in meaning: わたしはアメリカからきました。 watashi wa amerika kara kimashita. I came from America. アメリカからきました。 amerika kara kimashita. (I) came from America.
