"あなた/Anata" and "あんた/Anta" are very difference. -Japanese words that I don't recommend you to say. "あなた"と"あんた"はぜんぜん違います。おすすめしないことばについて。

Yesterday, while I was talking to a teacher about a computer, he asked me, "あんたは ここで いちばん しったっぱですか？

Simply put, this means "Are you the newest staff here?"

He is a native English speaker, but his Japanese is like a native Japanese speaker. He has been in Japan for more than 6 years.

Our conversations was in Japanese.

However, I was very surprised to hear his question. It gave me a bad feeling, because he used two impolite words towards me. One was, "あんた/anta," and the other was "したっぱ/下っ端/shittappa."

Because, he used two bad words to me, one was "あんた/anta", another one was "したっぱ/下っ端/shittappa".

The Both words, あなた/anata and あんた/anta, sound similar and have the same meaning. They mean "You".

But we use あんた/anta when we want to make someone set up. "あんた" implies looking down on someone. (I'm not sure what the red portion means.)

It depend on the situation.

If you use "あんた" to your family, it's okay as long as your family doesn't have bad feeling about it.

あんた is used often in downtown Tokyo, but through my experiences, we must not use this word in a business or office setting.

Now, about "しったっぱ/下っ端".

したっぱ sounds like the lowest level person who doesn't know much about work, or a new hire.

I think, if you say "I'm shittappa in this office", that isn't a problems.

This word also isn't used in a business setting.

I know many Japanese words that must not use in a business setting or at the office, but I don't know much about it in English.

So, I need to learn more and more!

Thank you for reading. :)

These were are not appropriate to use at the office.

The Both the words あなた/anata and あんた/anta are sounds similar and have the same meaning- these words mean "You".

But we use あんた/anta when we want to make someone set someone's position above someone else up-"あんた" implies looking down on someone. (I hope this change is what you mean)

If you use "あんた" to your family, it's okay as long as your family don't doesn't have get a bad feeling.
