Personal pronoun project

In English, we only can use one pronoun 'I' to represent ourselves. Whatever you are young or old, or in different gender, we all use the same pronoun. However, we have different terms to use if you are in different position, such as WATASHI(私), ORE(俺), BOKU(僕) etc.



Watashi(私)

Both male and female can use 'watashi' , some young girl may use 'atashi' to show they are young and cute. Beside 'watashi', there are the others pronoun often using by the male.

Watashi(私)、ore(俺) and boku(僕) are common pronouns which used by Japanese nowadays. In the Japanese textbook, the information always teach the readers female only using watashi ,and male are using watashi or boku, the main reason because these terms are more polite.Actually in daily life , many male use a pronoun 'ORE' to represent themselves , especially used by the strong and self-confident person.

Also, when we read a comic, we can discover that the using times of 'Boku(僕)' and 'Ore(俺)' are much more than 'Watashi(私)' in the male. And the female is still using Watashi(私) or Atashi (young girl) .
