Anata, omae, kimi. watashi, or using names? I am so doomed. I talked to my foreigners friends using 'kimi' =.=; I read at some websites that it is not really polite? I don't know. Sorry. If anyone have some advice about when to use anata, omae and kimi, watashi I would be glad to hear it. I also read that maybe it is better not to say "I/Watashi" or "You" since Japanese people don't really use it that much right? and I also read that it is better using names? Like "Kazehaya-san" "Nana-san". Here in Malaysia we have something similar too like "Aku" "Saya" "Kita" "Awak" "Kau" But it is kinda different. ^_^; This is kinda hard so any information and advice would be good :)

Generally, we use (name) + san, it's the most common. Before you know her/his name, you can say あなた. For "I", saying WATASHI is natural, sometimes boys/men say BOKU but girls/women generally don't. Please remember that OMAE sounds really rude, however, it's used between old friends, very close friends, family members, or when someone calls his girlfriend. Depending on the friend, it can't be used and women don't use it in general. So you shouldn't use it. I hope this was helpful.
