What Should I Call "You"? Part 1: Zero Pronoun

This is the first episode of our What Should I Call "You"? series.

In Japanese, pronouns for "others" (such as everything besides "I" — "you" "they" / "she" / "he" ) are not generally used in conversations. In this series, the Tofugu crew discuss different ways to call others without using pronouns.

In this episode, Kanae, Jenny and Rachel talk about "zero pronoun" aka simply leaving out pronouns.
