I'm a male, so I think I will use "watashi" in formal situtations and "boku" in informal situations like talking to a friend.
I find this lesson very helpful especially because I was so confused about the variations of "I" in Japanese. ありがとう

I am in between beginner and intermediate and I still found your video interesting and useful. Thanks for making all these differentiations clear.
I have never and did not use boku before but I think I will use boku in informal and watashi in formal from now on.

I have a question please.
I noticed that Watashi and Watakushi are written exactly the same way.
So, how do we distinguish between them when we read them?
And, thanks 😀

Since I am female, I would use "Watashi" in both formal and informal situations.

I am female so I would use "Watashi (私)" in both formal and informal occasions.

Would using "ore" all the time be rude? I feel like that fits me a bit more as I tend to be somewhat brash when I speak to others in English.

Are there any situations where a woman would use a masculine word to describe themselves? Like for instance, if they were in a competitive setting or a gang fight? I know the examples may seem extreme, but I hope my question makes sense.

Rena will use Watashi because Rena is female 😀 (it's too simple for me :D)

OK, then I'm a men so formal term I can use watashi and informal term I can use boku or ore.
For me I tend to use boku like you.

I tend to use watashi just because it's my personality even as a guy.

i think that i would use "boku" in all the cases but if i meet somebody new (face to face), i´ll apologize for the causal behavior in a way to brake the ice/ a friendly way to start talking, and try my best to break the language wall between us.
GREAT VIDEO YUTA! I CAN'T WAIT FOR SOME MORE LESSONS, greetings from Valparaíso, Chile (look up for it, it's really beautiful :D)

thanks for the lesson!
I've honestly never heard anyone use uchi (to address oneself) in a conversation before. I learned basic Nihongo in school, and I believe I was taught the Tokyo dialect, so I presume uchi is used predominantly in another dialect?
