2.2 CULTURE

Unlike European cultures, Japanese do not call

someone’s first name easily. It is always better

to start with calling with their family name. In

this case, you must add “san” after the family

name.

Here is an example:

たなかさん (Tanaka san)

= Mr./Ms./Mrs. Tanaka

Tanaka is one of the most common family

names.

Among the same genders, especially young

women, are likely to address with the first name

very quickly. In Japan, however, people do not

address married people (both men and women)

with their first name. For someone’s mother,

Japanese often call her,

“Child’s name + no + Okaasan.”

2.3 LESSON 1: PRONOUNS

First, we will look through pronouns in Japanese.

Japanese language does have pronouns for

“you”, “he”, and “she”, but they usually do not

use the pronouns. Instead, they just use the

person’s name. We will look examples later.
