What is your image of a man using 私?
Note: I am talking about usage inタメ語
I am kind of curious about this because I think people see me“私 person”? Even though using 俺 or 僕 is what I should use according to my Japanese teacher I recently talked with two female Japanese friends and they both told me that 私 would be the most suitable for me. The one friend’s reason was that 僕 is a little bit childish and the other friend’s reason was 「おしゃれだから」.
That kind of got me wondering if even though most men tend to 僕 or 俺, maybe women think that 私 is more appropriate?
So it would highly interest me what kind of person you imagine when only using 私, even in タメ語. Also if you don’t mind, I would be happy if you could note whether you’re male or female when commenting! I would love to see if there is a difference in opinions!
ありがとうございます!
