「誰」の情報

誰(だれ) is a substitute noun that is used in Japanese to describe unknown people. Due to Japanese particles behaving in very specific ways, 誰(だれ) will be translated differently depending on the particle that follows it.

誰(だれ)が・誰(だれ)で・誰(だれ)に・誰(だれ)を (who), 誰(だれ)の (whose), 誰(だれ)か (somebody), 誰(だれ)も (any/everybody).

Caution

Depending on the style of polite speech, there are several different words that will be used to indicate an unknown person. どなた is used in honorific language, while どちらさま is used in polite speech.

[どなた is the formal version of だれ]

How often is the kanji for だれ used? I have not come across it and according to Jisho.org, it is a JLPT N5 word but it is only taught at level 43 of Wanikani as a kanji?

Hey and welcome on the community forums

Both ways of writing are used, though I would say that using 誰 is a bit more common.

I hope it helps,
Cheers

Hello! In the question:

友達: 君は___?
私: あなたの友達でしょう!

Why is 誰か incorrect? I know that 誰か means
“someone”, but couldn’t it also work as “who?” with か to indicate that it’s a question?
Thanks!

Hello, everyone!
I have a simple question.

お前は誰で行く？

This phrase is in the examples, but I think 誰と is more natural than 誰で.
What do you think?
Do people use 誰で frequently?

Hey @junetheway !

Both 誰で and 誰と would work here! However, changing で to と would change the nuance of the sentence completely.

This sentence uses this で, which is used to highlight something/someone that is required to perform an action. This means that this で gives this sentence the nuance of ‘Who are you choosing’ instead of ‘going together’. A sentence like this may be heard when playing a video game that requires each players to pick a character.

Hope this clears it up!

Oh, I see!!
The video game example really made me understand the difference!!
Thank you so much for the explanation!!
