what does it mean?? What does "watashi no koto" mean? I´ve seen this many times in many variations, such as "ore no koto" "anata no koto" "boku no koto", etc. Thanks in advance ありがとうございます!

"Watashi no koto" - 'about me'; watashi - 'I'; can be male or female. Formal "ore no koto" - 'about me'; 'ore' - 'I' if you are male only "anata no koto" - 'about you';'anata'- you "boku no koto" - 'about me' ; 'boku' - only if the person who is speaking is male. 'Ore' and "Boku' mean the same ('I' in English) but only used by men.

"Watashi no koto" literally means "that thing about me" or "stuff concerning me", but just means "me" in clauses like "watashi no koto ga suki? (do you like/love me?)". You cannot just say the personal pronoun as you would in English in certain constructions, but have to add "no koto" to turn it into natural Japanese.

Do you know what the kanji for koto is? Or is it just spelt こと。
