In Japanese there is no singular “they”. However, there are many terms translating to
|
||||
of “that person” or “this person”, many of which are commonly used in place of gendered pronouns,
|
||||
even for those who don't regularly use gender-neutral pronouns.
|
||||
The most common forms of “that person” are split into three sections:
|
||||
far, near to listener, near to speaker, and the question marker, represented by あ/そ/こ/ど \[a/so/ko/do] respectively.
|
||||
So, while the gendered pronouns He {/彼=彼} \[kaɾe/kare] and She {/彼女=彼女} \[kanodʑo/kanojo]
|
||||
do not require any changes dependant on position of the subject,
|
||||
all the gender-neutral animate pronouns and inanimate pronouns require that distinction to be made.

Plural and possessive pronouns in Japanese are very simple to do, with a few naunces to look out for, however.

Plural and possessive pronouns in Japanese are very simple to create, with a few naunces to look out for, however.
|
||||
Possessive pronouns are the easiest ones to make, simply add the particle の \[no] onto the end of the pronoun,
|
||||
followed by the thing that is possessed.
|
||||
For example, “That person's (over there) shirt” would be あの人<strong>の</strong>シャーツ.

For example, “That person's (over there) shirt” would be あの人<strong>の</strong>シャーツ \[ajatsɯ̥ no ɕaatsɯ̥/ayatsu no shaatsu].

|
||||
Plurality is slightly different however, as the particle used is determined once again by familiarity and politeness.
|
||||
There are two main ones used (though there are a few others), those being ら \[ɾa/ra] and 達 \[tatɕi・i̥/tachi]
