How to Say ‘When I'm with you, Yui’ in Japanese
ゆいさんといると
yui san to iru to
[YOO-ee sahn toh iru to]
💬 Usage Tip: と means "with," and いると means "when (I) am," so you can swap in any person: 友達といると "when I'm with friends".
🇯🇵 In Japan: Japanese usually drops あなた "you" and uses the person's name with さん instead, which sounds warmer and less blunt.

“Teaching in Osaka and I wanted to connect with my students beyond the classroom. The everyday conversation made my Japanese feel natural, not textbook-y.”

“I hop cities every few months and this is the only app that actually prepares me for living somewhere, not just visiting. Tokyo was the real test — passed with flying colors.”
