In Japanese there is no singular “they”, however, there are many alternatives in the field
of “that person” or “this person” many of which are commonly used in speech, even for cis people.
The most common forms of “that person” are split into three sections:
far, near to listener, and near to speaker, represented by あ/そ/こ \[a/so/ko] 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 animate and inanimate pronouns require that distinction to be made.
- >
For example, a common gender-neutral third-person pronoun
{/あの人=あの人} \[anoçito/anohito] literally meaning “That person over there”,
the kana あ is replaced within context to show the positional relationship between
the speaker, listener, and subject.
table:
- {pronoun: '{/あの人=あの人}', romanised: 'anohito', ipa: 'anoçito', meaning: 'That person over there'}
- {pronoun: 'その人', romanised: 'sonohito', ipa: 'sonoçito', meaning: 'That person/The person'}
- {pronoun: 'この人', romanised: 'konohito', ipa: 'konoçito', meaning: 'This person'}

name: 'Familiarity and Japanese pronouns'

Another common thing with Japanese pronouns is that they're separated by familiarity,
for example, the pronoun {/あの方=あの方} \[anokata] has the same meaning
as {/あの人=あの人}, but is much more formal, and may sound weird within informal contexts.
On the other hand {/あやつ=あやつ} \[ajatsɯ̥/ayatsu] has a similar meaning to “That guy”
or even in some cases “That thing”, and therefore the pronoun used should be considered based
on the context of politeness or social status (such as talking to your boss).

name: 'Possession and plurality'
description:

Plural and possessive pronouns in Japanese are very simple to do, 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.
- >
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]
(often written in kana たち).
Like the possessive particle, this is attached at the end of the pronoun (if plural and possessive, before the の).
The difference in usage is that ら is a solely informal particle, whilst 達 is used within and outside of formal contexts.
This does mean that there are masculine, feminine, and gender-neutral plural third-person pronouns,
and groups of people can be perceived as gendered.

description: >
If you don't speak Japanese, yet still are interested in how pronouns work in this language,
we've prepared a short overview in English.
intro:
- >
Japanese is not written using a Latin script, but instead by sets of
かな \[kana] and 漢字 \[kanʑi/kanji] (Chinese characters)
and their pronoun system is very different to that in English.
- >
Japanese pronouns are rarely used within natural speech, for the sole reason that
the subject (I, you, they, etc.) is very often omitted.
Referring back to the subject within speech in Japanese makes it sound clunky and repetitive,
and for that reason they aren't often utilised when using the language;
it would be like if you were to constantly say
“<strong>They</strong> are my friend, <strong>they</strong> live close to me, <strong>their</strong> name is...”,
it just sounds unnatural to listen to.
However, there are some cases in which third-person pronouns are used, such as referring
to a person or thing that is absent from the situation, or for changing the subject of the conversation.
