How it's used

Used in anime or historical dramas as a second-person pronoun; in real life, it can sound rude or overly familiar.

おまえ、ちょっと来い。
Omae, chotto koi.
Hey you, come here a minute.

おまえのせいだよ。
Omae no sei da yo.
It's your fault.

⚖️ Commonly confused with 'kimi' (you), which is politer; 'omae' is more aggressive or intimate.
