“返信(henshin) and 返事(henji)” mean “An old lady” and which has been used as the meaning of “a person says something or write an answer to someone”. The tips for using them are that “返信” is used as the meaning of “TO REPLY ONLY BY LETTER, E-MAIL, etc”, whereas “返事” is used as the meaning of “NOT ONLY TO REPLY BY LETTER, E-MAIL, etc BUT A PERSON ALSO ANSWERS IN PERSON”. Then you would say “返信/返事ありがとう。(Thanks for the reply.)” which someone replies by letter, e-mail, etc. However, “返事して！(You should say something.)” which can be used ONLY in person. You wouldn’t say “返信して！”, if you see their face. The basic ways to use are that “___は返信/返事をする。(___ reply.)”, etc. For instance, “私は返信/返事をする。(I reply.)”, “彼は返信/返事をする。(He replies.)”, etc. Everyone could use “返信/返事” as casual, polite and formal such as “返信/返事したよ。(I replied.)” as casual and “返信/返事をしました。(I replied.)” as polite and formal.
