+ 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 あの人のシャーツ. + - > + 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. + table: + -
