Japanese term
某
Japanese to English
Art/Literary
Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Dynasty Warriors
I know that 某 is generally used to mean "a certain" (as in "a certain hotel", etc.), but can it also be a humble way of saying "I"?
Below is the dialogue as it appears in the text:
太守殿。某は丁承淵。あなたの副官を務めます。
It sure seems to me that the term in question means "I" since the character is essentially offering his assistance.
Any help/feedback greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
