Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Japanese, unlike English, allows all pronouns to be omitted from sentences when they can be inferred from context. In spite of this -- or perhaps because of this -- Japanese has far more pronouns than the average language. There are more than three dozen Japanese words that can be translated as "I/me"[1] and even more that can be translated as "you". Each of them makes a different statement about the speaker's gender, age, social status, and relationship with the addressee(s). To capture a little of the flavor, English translations sometimes use "this (category of person)" -- this little girl, this humble peasant, this Badass. |
