Personal Pronouns
Though the Japanese language does have personal pronouns, it is preferable not to use them. Using personal pronouns puts a lot of stress on the subject and can often sound either egocentric or like an accusation. Instead of using personal pronouns, the Japanese prefer to use one's title or function, or one's name.

There are several synonyms for each personal pronoun, often with different levels of politeness. Some personal pronouns are for exclusive use by women, others are exclusively used by men.

Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns are formed by simply placing の (no) after the respective personal pronoun.
