How to Say ‘Us’ in Japanese
私たちを
watashi tachi o
[watashi tachi o]
💬 Usage Tip: [を] marks the direct object. So [私たちを] means “us” as the target of the action, like in [私たちを愛しています].
🇯🇵 In Japan: Particles like [を] are tiny but mighty. They show each word’s job in the sentence, which is extra helpful because word order can be flexible in Japanese.
