BASIC PERSONAL PRONOUNS

There are many personal pronouns in Japanese. Here are the main ones to know when starting to learn the language:

Notice that the Japanese language uses the suffix -TACHI (たち) to express the idea of a group in some cases (except for KARERA here).

Please be aware that the Japanese language doesn’t use any personal pronouns if they are not required to understand the sentence (if the context is clear enough).

JRCyrin Anatatachi (あなたたち) can be viewed as negative or even derogatory depending on the context. It could be seen as "YOU all," indicating a clear and down-putting distinction between the speaker and the group he or she is referring to. Antatagata (あなたがた, あなた方） is much more polite.
