How to Say ‘Your company’ in Japanese
御社
o yashiro
[oh shah]
💬 Usage Tip: 御社 (onsha) is used only when speaking. In emails or written applications you write 貴社 (kisha) instead, even though both mean "your company".
🇯🇵 In Japan: Job seekers use this honorific word for the company they're talking to. Saying あなたの会社 "your company" would sound blunt and out of place.
