How to Say ‘With you’ in Japanese
君と
kimi to
[kimi to]
💬 Usage Tip: [と] after a person means "with": [君と], [友達と], [店員さんと]. [君] is more intimate than [あなた], so it can feel warm or flirty here.
🇯🇵 In Japan: [君] can sound close, playful, or a bit bold with someone you're flirting with. It's much more natural from a man to a woman than the other way around, and with the wrong tone it can sound a little patronizing.
