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) .
The others example :
simple and neat, but your analysis is in-depth, and with good observation =]
回覆刪除I also notice that males found in comics prefer to use "boku" or "ore", maybe watashi is too common and without uniqueness XD
Ohh yes ! it is common to see males to use "boku" and "ore" when they referring to "I". This is becuase the males think using these are more unique than just using common "I" -> "watashi"
回覆刪除I learn a lot from your detailed analysis. I am wondered that could girls use "boku" or "ore"??
