I went through the lesson again and it says you could also use karera. I understand much better now. :] Thank you for your help! ^-^

You don’t need to translate every English word into Japanese to be understood.

Soo you would say Karera for a group of boys right? And Kanojo for a group of girls right? What if there is a group of both boys and girls?? I know you said there isn’t an exact word for “they” but what would you say something that is similar to “They are Japanese,” or “They are from America” or something like that :]

“Kare” means “he”, and by adding “ra” you make it plural. “Kanojo” is “she” and by adding “ra” you’re making it a plural too. There isn’t an exact word for “they”.

Nihongo means “Japanese language”. To say “Japanese people” or “Japanese person”, you say nihonjin.

So with all these points in mind, the Japanese sentences you wrote should be:

Karera wa nihonjin desu.
Watashi wa nihonjin desu.
Anata wa nihonjin desu.

Keep up the questions, they are the mark of a good student!

First of all, what does the wa mean in: Kare wa Kazunori desu, Watashi wa ___ desu, etc. I remember listening 2 the Magical Wa! Lesson but I forgot what it meant exactly ^^; I got sort of confused there.

Second, what is the Japanese word for: they. I forgot. I know Kare ra meant they but do u use that for a group of males? And kanojo ra do you use that for a group of females? What if there is a group with both females and males? What would be the exact word for they?? And would you use the wa there again like: Kare ra wa, Nihon desu.

Third: I know Nihongo means Japanese in Japanese. How would you say I am Japanese or you are Japanese. Can’t you say something like Watashi wa Nihongo desu or Anata wa Nihongo desu?

But anyways, thank you a lot! Ganbatte kudasai!

A set of characters which aren’t broken down individually in reading them, like 貴方(anata) is called “Jukujikun.” 熟字訓(jukujikun) is allocated to one reading as a set of characters. For example, 明日(ashita), 昨日(kinou) or 梅雨(tsuyu; rainy season)

According to the dictionary, 彼 originally has a meaning of the third person. After English came in, 彼 is allocated to “he” and then 彼女is come up with to mean “she.”

私達(watashi-tachi) and 我々(wareware) both mean “we.” 私達 is the word usually used to mean “we”. It seems to me that 我々sounds like a word for army or very formal public speech by a politician or president of a company.
