Alternative spellings

From Old Japanese. Originally a second person pronoun, as used in the Kojiki of 712 CE. Thought to have gradually changed into a first person pronoun from roughly the Kamakura and Muromachi periods.[1][2] Some scholars, however, point out the lack of precedent of a second-person pronoun shifting to a first-person pronoun as an etymological discontinuity; they instead explain the first-person usage as an early corruption of 己 (onore, “I, me”), with the ancient second-person usage perhaps deriving of a different root.[3]

Pronunciation

Pronoun

[edit]

俺(おれ) or 俺(オレ) • (ore) 

  1. (informal, men's speech) I, me
    • 1905, Natsume Sōseki, 吾輩は猫である [I Am a Cat]:
      最(さい)前(ぜん)から黙(だま)っていた主人(しゅじん)はこの時(とき)急(きゅう)に写(しゃ)真(しん)が見(み)たくなったものと見(み)えて「おい俺(おれ)にもちょっと覧(み)せろ」と云(い)う
      saizen kara damatte ita shujin wa kono toki kyū ni shashin ga mitaku natta mono to miete “oi ore ni mo chotto misero” to iu
      My owner, who had until then been silent, suddenly seemed to take interest in the photo and asked "Hey, let me see it too."
  2. (obsolete, familiar or derogatory) you
    Near-synonym: 己 (onore)

Usage notes

[edit]
  • This term is the most casual form of self-address used by men, and is suitable for conversations among close friends or relatives. Conversely, in polite conversation or where polite forms are expected, its usage may be interpreted as disrespectful. For such occasions, 私 (watashi) or 僕 (boku) are preferred.

Derived terms

[edit]
  • おれら (orera, explicitly plural first- or second-person pronoun)
