Lesson 8: Saying “This Person,” “That Person,” and “Who” in Japanese
In this lesson, I will teach you how to say “this person, that person, who” in Japanese.
How to say “this person, that person, who” in Japanese?
| Word | Explanation |
| こちら/この方/この人 | こちら/この方/この人 means 【this person】 → the person close to the speaker but far from the listener |
| そちら/その方/その人 | そちら/その方/その人： means 【that person】 → the person close to the listener but far from the speaker |
| あちら/あの方/あの人 | あちら/あの方/あの人： means 【that person】 → the person far from the listener and speaker. |
| どちらさま/どの方/どの人/誰 | どちらさま/どの方/どの人/誰： means 【who】 → The person you don’t know |
Examples:
| こちらは私のお客さんです。 This person is my guest. その方は私のお客さんです。 That person is my guest. あの人は私のお客さんです。 That person is my guest. この人は誰ですか。 Who’s this guy? どちらさまでしょうか。 May I ask your name? 誰ですか 。 Who are you? |
Notes:
| 1.こっち/そっち/あっち is an informal way to say こちら/そちら/あちら |
| 2.こちら/この方/そちら/その方/どちらさま/どの方 is more polite than この人/その人/あの人/誰，so you should use こちら/この方/そちら/その方/どちらさま/どの方 often. |
