きみの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A:
We have some words meaning "you" in Japanese, and the followings are most commonly used;

■あなた(anata)
It is the most typical word meaning "you", so you can see it in all the textbooks. However, you use it only for someone lower rank than you in real life. Some housewives might use it for their husbands, but you cannot use it to your teachers or superiors, they might use it to you though.
■君(kimi)
You might see it used in anime or dramas between friends or boyfriends and girlfriends. However, just like 'あなた', you use it only for someone lower rank than you in real life. And it sounds more snobbish than using 'あなた'.
■お前(omae)
It is used for someone lower rank than you or someone you think inferior than you, so you should be careful when you use it. Many parents use it for their children.

Now, you are probably wondering what you should call your friend?? The answer is that we basically call people by their family name with honorific titles such as -san like Tanaka-san. Between close friends or boyfriends and girlfriends, we might call them by their first name like Hiroshi or with honorifics like Hiroshi-kun. How about strangers on the street who dropped their handkerchiefs then?
The answer is we don't use any pronouns and say "すみません、落とされましたよ" (Excuse me, dropped this.) or some people might use 'あなた' or 'おたく'. But they still sound a bit rude though.

A: It's informal form of 'you' mainly used by men but it's not very cultural I think

A: 縋る(すがる)は 相手に助けを乞うことです。

縋るような顔とは
この画像のような表情です。

A: but, as far as I know, あなた(貴方) is more colloquial and neutral. きみ(君) is used by snobbish people or a superior person to subordinate.

A: just for you

yours only

A: 君は綺麗な人です。
you are a beautiful person.
君のことが好きです。
I love you or i like you.
君と一緒に遊びたいです。
i would like to play with you.
君の好きな歌はなんですか？
what is your favorite song?
but usually japanese people don't use 君 because its informal way and you can hear it only from anime or drama, but in the real life they rarely use this word except if you talking with your close friend. so they usually use あなた more than 君。

A: ◇
彼　：　きみが好きだ
彼女：　わたしも、あなたが好きです。

この場合、
・彼女：　わたしも、きみが好きです。
は、変です。

※　男尊女卑（subjection of women）になるでしょうか。

◇
君たちは、普段、何を考えているのか？
What do you guys usually think about?

※　目上の人が、目下の人に向かって言う表現です。

一方、
遠い昔には、
「君（きみ kimi）」は、
尊敬したり、敬慕したりする'２人称'の対象を
表す言葉であった時代もあります。

◇
「天皇」、「主君」等の意味で使う。

＜例＞
・日本の国歌は〝君が代〟です。
「君が代」は、
「君の御代」、「天皇の御代」という意味です。

※　この例の場合、「が」は主格を表現するのではなく、
　　所有格を表現します。
　　「が」means「の（of）」。

◇
'２人称'の誰かを敬慕（愛惜）して使う。

＜例＞
・いとしの君
・憧れの君

「ああ、いとしの君よ！」等と、使います（過去に使われました）。

きみ is used when your boss talking to you .

A:

■君(kimi)
You might see it used in anime or dramas between friends or boyfriends and girlfriends. However, just like 'あなた', you use it only for someone lower rank than you in real life. And it sounds more snobbish than using 'あなた'.
■お前(omae)
It is used for someone lower rank than you or someone you think inferior than you, so you should be careful when you use it. Many parents use it for their children.
■あんた(anta)
It is a contraction of あなた, but is positioned in between あなた and おまえ politeness-wise. It is used for someone we despise but need to show respect because we don’t know well when used by males, or someone we are very close to on the contrary when used by females.
For example, it is used for your mother’s lover you hate or for your husband.

A: To me, it's only when a higher ranked person in workplace addresses to his subordinate. For that matter, between a college/university professor and his student, as well. Until high school, teachers call their students by last name.

「きみが好きだ。」(I love you, from a man to a woman) is a myth. Eh, I think. I've never heard it in real life. Only in TV dramas and in literature. Do people actually say that???

If a woman adresses to a man around the same age by きみ, it's her own style. Not common.

If a woman or a girl adresses to a boy of younger age by that, there found a respect and her being a big sister.

In men sports hierachy, it's おまえ rather than きみ. I don't know the situation in women's sports.
