Self introduction

How to introduce yourself in japanese? Actually, there have many way to do so but I prefer the easiest one and commonly used. You can try like this:

"watashi wa ______ desu."

For example I want to introduce to others with name Wak, I would say "watashi wa Wak desu". watashi means "I" (formal form), "wa" is a particle (which I will elaborate it later) while desu is "is". Don't be suprise because japanese use verbs at the end of sentences. Below is a nouns that mostly used in Japanese

watashi (I)

わたし

私

formal

ore (I)

おれ

俺

very informal (sound rude if used to strangers)

boku (I)

ぼく

僕

informal (usually used by male only)

atashi (I)

あたし

informal (usually used by female only)

anata (you)

あなた

貴方, 貴男, 貴女

formal/informal (sometimes used by lover)

omae (you)

おまえ

お前

very informal (sound rude if used to strangers)

kimi (you)

きみ

君

informal

kare (he)

かれ

彼

formal (neutral) and informal (boyfriend)

kanojo (she)

かのじょ

彼女

formal (neutral) and informal (girlfriend)

To say a nouns that represents many people usually add tachi 達 (たち) at the back. For example 私達 watashi-tachi (we), あなた達 anata-tachi (you many), 彼女たち kanojo-tachi (they female), 君たち kimi-tachi (you many) and many more. If you have more example, don't bother to give a comment.
