“YOU” in Japanese and how to address someone (Don't say anata)

Watch this video to learn different ways to address others like native Japanese speakers.

I've seen a lot of Japanese learners using あなた {anata} to talk to others, however, on normal occasions, it can sound rude or distant.

This video will focus on...
✅ How does each second-person pronoun sound to Japanese people?
✅ Is it even formal or casual?
✅ How native speakers use them in real life
✅ Other ways to address others
With a lot of example sentences.

The second person pronouns that are covered in this video are…
🔸 あなた {anata}
🔸 あんた {anta}
🔸 お前 {おまえ| omae}
🔸 君 {きみ | kimi}
🔸 貴様 {きさま | kisama}
🔸 てめぇ {temee}
🔸 僕 {ぼく | boku}
🔸 自分 {じぶん| jibe}

And other ways that I recommend using to address others are…
🔸 Names
🔸 (Omitting “you” completely)
🔸 Family Roles
🔸 Social Titles
