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. |

Here's sum.......-僕-ぼくら,ぼくたち(Bokura,Bokutachi)
ぼくら(Bokura)and ぼくたち(Bokutachi)-also means WE/US。
If you listen to J-Music(Japanese Music...)
Heh...(Like the ones that I hear from Anime Openings)well also on other Music...
-Not only on Music but also on conversations too...-
You could see...(hear)they mostly use ぼくら(Bokura) and ぼくたち(Bokutachi)to serve as WE/US/OUR.
(You could Really Hear this Alot on their Lyrics)
So... If you want to say WE/US you could just say
ぼくら-Bokura or ぼくたち-Bokutachi!!!
If you watch 僕らの音楽(Bokura no Ongaku)-A music show in Japan- Well it means ~Our Music~
-Also the Kanji of Boku is:-僕-which is also the Kanji of "Shimobe"(Servant)
-Also Boku means "I"(mostly used by men;less formal) here on TJP。。。
