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! :) |
