Japanese has a huge amount of "honorific words", "humble words", "polite words", "spoken words", "literary words", "dialects", "old words", "slang" and "untranslatable words".
Japanese people always switch and mix them unconsciously.
The language that foreigners are taught is probably mostly "pretty standard polite language".

Omg!! Sayaka san you’re a master of disguise! 😂 You can make a NihongoDekita city soon with all the characters haha!

They tried to translate that scene from "Your Name" where its just the girl character in the boy s body trying to figure how to say "I" in front of his friend and its hilarious.

Something is missing...

"how do you say 'I' in Japanese"

My brain: い

[bebube]

Normal (casual)↓
私(watashi), あたし(atashi),
あらし(arashi), うち(uchi), 俺(ore),
僕(boku), 自分(jibun), わい(wai),
わし(washi (Hiroshima)),
おい(oi (Kyushu)), おいら(oira),
あっし(asshi)

Sometimes (weird)↓
我(ware), 我輩or吾輩(wagahai),
拙者(sessha), あたい(atai),

Minor (strange)↓
俺っち(oretchi), 僕ちん(bokuchin)

On business↓
私(watakushi), 小生(shosei)

Here’s just a part

[eljaminlatour]

There's a lot of I words in Japan, like: 私("Watashi" used formally by men, used casually by women), あたし("atashi", used by young women), うち("uchi" used by little girls), 僕("Boku" used semi-formally by men), 俺("ore", used casually by men), 自分("jibun", used in any conversation by both men and women), 私/わたくし("watakushi", used politely by both men and women) and more. You can even treat your name as a first person pronoun or use a role as one. Saying "I" in Japanese is probably one of the safest pronouns one can use, sometimes you omit the pronoun like instead of saying 私は学生です。("Watashi wa gakusei desu." I am a student) you can shorten it to just 学生です。(gakusei desu.) Saying "I" may sometimes sound unnatural and usually Japanese only say it when they clarify to whom are they talking about, and some of these "I" pronouns are used depending on conversation tone(like casual or formal) or gender of one whom uses it, but then again, pick whichever "I" pronoun you're most comfortable with.

You really put on that whole outfit to make a male character?? Omg the time and effort you put into this 😭💕

[IchorDragon]

After watching it, what I understand in my way is
わたし is for business
おれ is for friends
ぼく sounds like you use it when you're younger or lower level than the person you're speaking to
じぶん feels like talking to someone not really close but still related to you and it sounds like "personally, I..."

[SupriyaRoy_]

Japan is one of the most favorite countries of mine. That's why I was trying to learn Japanese by myself.
But the more I'm knowing about this language, the more I tend to give up 😣

[thecattheft]

I remember giving speeches and my mom taught me to use Ware (われ/我) when referring to myself in speeches. Thx mama.

[WallahNein]

I love how papa is just a universal word for dad in every language

[moonnight_owl]

If you collect including old era words mean "I", it become many many words...
For example:
sessya, yatsugare, temae, washi, syousei, and more.
I think it's difficult for learner of Japanese, but I like the variation. Because it make me that I can easily catch image of characters in novel or other contents.
By age, living era, or other things, the words mean "I" are different, so we can soon understand image of character by only one word "I".

[ikh]

Ngl the different kinds of expression that the language has in just saying 'I' alone is something that really makes the language more interesting to me than English

[rainIight]

your videos make the 13 year old weeaboo that sleeps inside of me extremely happy but also slowly convince me the japanese language is just a contest on who can remember more rules and respect each other the most

[prodigiousgirlhasya]

MANY TYPE OR I
- watashi (by men)
- boku (semi formal by men)
- ore (casually bye men)
- atashi (by young women)
- uchi (by little girls)
- jibun (men or women)
- watakushi (polite men or women)

ex: watashiwa gakusei desu/gakusei desu

[yashironene]

I really love how fun the way Sayaka sensei teach 🤗💖

[justwatching]

I always wondered, why they switch, with Boku and Ore. Thanks to you, i now know when to use Boku and Ore.

[vueport]

That male character is super convincing! The voice and body language too! Just.. Wow!
