tousha vs heisha vs. onsha vs kisha : All of These Are “Company”
What is the difference between “当社(tousha), 弊社(heisha), 御社(onsha) and 貴社(kisha)“? Is the meaning of these the same/ After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!
当社 (tousha) and 弊社 (heisha)
Our(My) company / 公司, 我们的公司 / 당사 / Công ty chúng tôi, Công ty chúng tôi
“当社(tousha) and 弊社(heisha)” mean “Our(My) company”. The basic way to use it is “当社(tousha) / 弊社(heisha)は___です。(Our(My) company is ___)”, etc. For instance, “当社/弊社はここです。(Our(My) company is here.)”, etc. The tips for using them are that ”当社” is used as a polite language(Teineigo) of “(私達)私の会社(Our(My) company)”, whereas “弊社” is used as a humble language(Kenjougo) of it. So, “弊社” is MORE POLITE THAN ”当社“. Furthermore, they are used in business situations as formal and “当社” is used between the COLLEAGUES, whereas “弊社” is used for PEOPLE who are a DIFFERENT COMPANY from you because “弊社” is MORE POLITE THAN ”当社” again. For example when a boss explains his company to new employees, “当社” is often used.

御社 (onsha) and 貴社 (kisha)
Your firm/company / 贵公司, 贵公司 / 귀사 / Công ty quý ngài, Quý công ty
“御社 (onsha) and 貴社 (kisha)” mean “Your firm/company”. The basic way to use it is “御社/貴社は___です。(Your firm/company is ___)”, etc. For instance, “御社/貴社はすばらしいです。(Your firm/company is great)”, etc. The tips for using them are that “御社” is used as a SPOKEN WORD in business situations as formal and “貴社” is used as a WRITING WORD in business situations as formal. The writing word means “e-mail”, so when a business person writes an e-mail, he/she would use “貴社(Your firm/company)” and when a business person talks to other business people in a meeting or something, he/she would use “御社“. For example, A talking situation: “御社に興味があります。(I am interested in your company.)”. A business e-mail situation; “貴社に興味があります。(I am interested in your company.)”.
