"The group", whether it be group of friends, workmates, sports team, town, state, country or any group of 3 more more is so important to Japanese people.
As a result of this thinking we hear the word "memba" (member) used ALL THE TIME!
Sometimes it is used in the same way that it is used in English but often not.
There is obviously a word in Japanese for "member" but they love this English word and use it liberally!!
