Week 31 Part 31 ● Female Speech Patterns ・ 女の喋り方 ● Useful Kanji for Pokemon:TCG ・ すぐ役 立つポケモンの漢字表 Female Speech Patterns 女 のしゃべり方 Females tend to use a softer and less harsh form of speech, especially in 少女 anime or any anime with a love centered plot (like Tenchi or Escaflowne). It is important to note that these words are quite feminine. Unless you really want to get some laughs (and or make a total fool of yourself), guys should avoid using words like these. Some of words they use are: あたし - Very distinctly feminine form of 'I'. Tough girls tend not to use this word. It is derived from 'Watashi'. あなた - Another word that means 'you'. While this word is formal, and is used by guys, it has a slight feminine overtone. Girls in anime will tend to prefer this word over 'Omae'. In anime, girls also frequently use 'Kimi' and 'Anta'. Men typcially avoid using 'Anata' in informal situations. の - Girls will frequently use the particle 'no' at the end of a sentence. It gives a softened feminine touch. かわいい - This is a particularly common word to anime. It means 'cute' and female characters use it quite frequently (at least those that don't act tough). While it is not forbidden for guys to say 'kawaii' it isn't a word they throw around as easily as girls do. If you pay enough attention you can notice these little differences all the time. Sometimes these minute differences are the root of some humor in anime, which can be exceptionally difficult to translate in the subtitling. It is also important to remember that in anime, speech is frequently exaggerated and they way a character speaks frequently characterizes they way the act as well. My best piece of advice is to avoid emulating the way anime characters speak. But anime is very helpful for listening comprehension. It becomes much easier to understand the things you hear when you know the words, and furthermore know what to expect to hear. Written by Knight of Gold Useful Kanji for Pokemon:TCG すぐ役立つ .
