fukdane 2 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 All you Japanese students care to clear this up for me? Whats the difference between boku and ore? Both meaning "me" I think (for a bloke). Is "ore" less formal? Link to post Share on other sites

Wizz 11 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Yep, boku is often used by little kiddies as well, (whereas ore isny), I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Ore is rough usually said only among men, you wouldnt whip out an ore while spading a tasty japanese bird at the boozer, she would think you were a philistine uncouth Millwall supporter or something. Boku is usually enough, but men can use Watashi if trying to be especially sycophantic to ones elders. there is a time and a place for it all Link to post Share on other sites
