Using Uchi to refer to myself2017/5/11 01:32 Hi guys!

While I was searching the internet for something, I came across an article about ways of saying I in Japanese(and uchi was there yeah).

I of course know uchi from before but I thought to me uchi sounds cuter so can I use it? what does it feels like if you heard a girl referring to herself using uchi? I mean, when girls refer to themselves using their names, it sounds like... wait! I forgot, but yeah, it's something not really good!!!! so does uchi sounds something like that(

By the way, I think girls who refers to themselves using their own name is cute but a bit so much childish!.

Thank you so much in advanced!by Chokohime

Re: Using Uchi to refer to myself2017/5/11 18:40 To me, using "uchi" to refer to oneself is something I hear only from Kansai (Kyoto in particular) women. So if it doesn't come as part of natural Kyoto accent/speech/demeanor, I would find somewhat out of place. (I am a Japanese from the Tokyo area, and I have lived in the Kansai region for several years too.) I might even ask "um, just to be sure, when you say uchi, do you mean, you?" :) 


Girls using their first names to refer to themselves... definitely sound childish (I mean, real children do it :)). 


Just my personal view.

Re: Using Uchi to refer to myself2017/5/11 20:37 Um, yeah!! haha

Ok, I understood but there is this "Foreigner" YouTuber who speaks Japanese in all of her videos, she refers to herself sometimes using uchi. I thought it was fine to use. Thank you so much for answering my question!!by Chokohimerate this post as useful

Re: Using Uchi to refer to myself2017/5/11 22:21 what does it feels like if you heard a girl referring to herself using uchi?


Unless it's part of her traditional dialect (such as Kyoto dialect), I'd assume that she's a low-teen talking to friends her age or her family. 


I mean, when girls refer to themselves using their names, it sounds like... wait! I forgot, but yeah, it's something not really good!!!! so does uchi sounds something like that(


To me, yes. Some people who haven't been around low-teens simply may be puzzled if you use "uchi", though. They'd simply think, "Why uchi?"by Ucorate this post as useful

Re: Using Uchi to refer to myself2017/5/12 17:03 When you use "Uchi no tomodachi" or "Uchi no mama" etc, is it the "I" "Uchi" or the inner circle "uchi"((I mean "Soto" and "Uchi" thing)


I'm not sure what you mean, but "uchi" also means "our household". So for example, if you say "uchi no inu" that can mean "our family dog" that you and your parents and your siblings share.


On the other hand, I don't think that "uchi no tomodachi" can mean anything else than "my friend", because friends don't belong to your household. So this "uchi" is clearly "I". If you want to say "our friend", you have to say "uchi-ra no tomodachi" (which is basically as childish as saying "uchi") or "watashitachi no tomodachi".


If you want to say "a friend of our whole family" you say "kazoku-gurumi de tsukiatteiru tomodachi" or "kazoku minna no tomodachi" etc. 


If you say "uchi no haha" that can mean "the mother of our household", so this "uchi" is not necessarily "I". By the way, you can also say "uchi no haha" to describe a mother you don't currently live with, and you can be an only-child and this "uchi" still won't mean "I".


But calling your mother "mama" to a non-family person is another childish expression.


Hope it helps.by Ucorate this post as useful

Re: Using Uchi to refer to myself2017/5/12 21:41 What an unexpected remark foreign learners of Japanese do make!

Your remark points out, consciously or unconsciously for you, I don't know, that the "uchi" in "uchi no mama"(our/my mom), "uchi no kaisya"(our company), "uchi no gakko"(our school), and the "uchi" which indicates the female speaker herself in the first person in the Kansai region dialect, has the same etymological origin. I appreciate your startling question.

I confess that "uchi" used by Kansai region ladies (young or old), if it is used in a right intonation and a right use of words, sounds cute and charming, for me who are from Tokyo, judged in the ancient time a barbarian region.by ... (guest)rate this post as useful

As good as everything was, the best dish of the night was the vegetarian-ized uchiviche, which is normally made with salmon. Our veggie version had cherry tomatoes, radish, celery and orange wedges in lieu of salmon. It was dressed with lime juice and chile oil in place of leche de tigre, and I gotta say, the composition was perfect. Every bite left us wanting more.

Traditional medicinal applications of the stem bark of E. uchi include the treatment and prevention of cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, diarrhea, and genitourinary disorders, especially uterine inflammations and infections [3]. A recent ethnobotanical survey has reported a high demand for uxi bark in regional markets due to its popular therapeutic claims [4,5,6,7]. However, few studies have investigated the bioactivities of E. uchi.

Silva and Teixeira [8] reported the in vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the bark, as well as inhibition of cholinesterase (AChE, BuChE) and -glucosidase. The authors associated the inhibition of -glucosidase with the traditional use of the bark to treat diabetes. Additionally, no cytotoxic effect was observed when tested in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). When tested in HeLa cells, a polysaccharide fraction of E. uchi barks significantly reduced proliferation and cell viability [9]. S et al. [10] demonstrated that the subchronic administration of E. uchi bark extract has no toxic effects on male and female Wistar rats. Politi et al. [11] also assessed the safety profile of E. uchi bark and reported the absence of oral acute toxicity.

Previous phytochemical investigations of E. uchi bark have revealed the presence of tannins, terpenoids (saponins and steroids), and coumarins [12,13,14]. The isocumeric secondary metabolite bergenin has been reported by several researchers as the major compound in E. uchi bark [8,15,16,17].

Quantification of intracellular ROS in N2 worms using DCFDA after treatment with Endopleura uchi extract (EU). Worms treated with EU showed lower levels of ROS compared to the control group. Data are presented as mean pixel intensity  SEM (n = 40, replicated 3 times). *** p < 0.001, compared to the untreated control by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni (post-hoc).

Expression of stress response genes. CF1553 worms [(pAD76)sod-3p::GFP + rol-6] treated with Endopleura uchi (EU) showed significant higher levels of SOD-3::GFP compared to the untreated control group (a), and mutant worms TJ375 [hsp-16.2::GFP(gplsI)] exposed to 20 M juglone presented significant lower levels of HSP-16.2::GFP when compared with the untreated control worms similarly exposed to 20 M juglone (b). Data are presented as mean pixel intensity (mean  SEM) from three independent experiments. Note: * p < 0.05 and *** p < 0.001 related to the control, analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni (post-hoc).

Longevity of C. elegans after treatment with Endopleura uchi extract (EU). BA17 worms treated with EU 300 g/mL presented significantly longer lifespan compared to untreated control group (a). However, lifespan of daf-16 null mutants (CF1038) were no significantly different between EU treated and untreated worms (b). The results are presented as percentage of surviving worms and the statistical significance determined by Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) tests followed by Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon Test. Note: *** p < 0.001.

PolyQ40::GFP aggregate formation in mutant worms (AM141) after treatment with Endopleura uchi extract (EU). Worms treated with EU exhibited significant lower number of polyQ40::GFP aggregates compared to the control group. Data are presented as mean  SEM. Note: *** p < 0.001 related to the control by a one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni (post-hoc).

Once you start to understand the fundamentals of the Uchi Mata you will quickly see how other techniques like ouchi gari and kouchi gari work together with Uchi Mata. Travis teaches you how to combine these tactics with Uchi Mata in a way that makes your offense hard to stop, and easy to set up. Setups are everything.


 (uchi) is almost always written using hiragana, but can sometimes be written using the kanji  when it's used to mean "house". However, this kanji is more often read as  (ie). More on this word and how it differs from  (uchi) below!

As you can see, there are times when  (uchi) could be translated as 'house' as well as 'home' in English. However, the key point here is: what do all of the 'uchi's in these examples have in common?

In this sense,  (uchi) can mean family, but more accurately, it refers to anyone who makes up your household - your 'inner' circle, if you like. This could include relatives, but also partners or flatmates. Can you see the link to our very first meaning of 'home'?

 (uchi) is one such first-person pronoun, and while not everyone in Japan will use  (uchi), I personally have not stopped using it since I picked it up when living in the Kansai region, which is home to places like Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto.

Outside of Kansai,  (uchi) has for some time been seen as quite feminine, but this is changing in recent years as it grows in popularity. Part of what I like about  (uchi) is that it works as a gender-neutral, casual alternative to  (watashi), and has a relaxed feel to it that makes it a great option to use with friends or those you're close to.

If you've learnt the word for 'home' before in Japanese, you might already have come across  (ie). The difference between these two words is that while  (uchi) conveys the close, familiar feeling of '[my/our] home',  (ie) refers to either: 17dc91bb1f
