Traditionally the Japanese don t use the he or she pronouns much instead they often use the name or title of the person they want to talk about. Therefore the sentences we just saw a few lines before sensei wa atama ga ii desu and Tanaka-san wa atama ga ii desu could perfectly well be sentences referring to a third person. In that case they would take a literal meaning The teacher is intelligent and Mr. Tanaka is intelligent. In a sentence of this kind the only way we can tell if the speaker is talking with the main person in the sentence second person or about him or her third person is through the context. Still there are third person pronouns which are quite often used in all contexts and registers kare he and kanojo she. Be careful with these pronouns as they also mean respectively boyfriend and girlfriend depending on the context. Take a look at this sentence ii 51 I I X T kanojo wa atama ga ii desu Depending on the topic of the conversation context or the tone in which the speaker pronounces it it can mean both She is intelligent and My girlfriend is intelligent. The plural and other pronouns The first and second person plural pronouns we and you respectively are very similar to the singular as far as use is concerned. You have the tables as a guide and the examples we gave for the singular can also be applied to the plural all you need to do is change the pronoun. As for the third person the plural personal pronouns are b karera they when talking about men and A kanojotachi they when talking about women. However apart from the list in this lesson there are other less used pronouns which we might come across now and then. For example b L washi I Men over 50 often dialectal . í L asshi I - Men in very informal I vulgar situations. T d ỹ oira I - Country men basically used in parodies . Ji sessha I Ancient samurai in films comic books etc. . 5 5 Ỉ kisama you - Used threateningly against a rival by men. 6
