Grammar usage notes
this is only used when the receiver is in you or someone close to you. When you are the giver, you need to use あげる instead (even if the receiver is also someone close to you).
Expanding on what mysticfive has mentioned, くれる indicates an inward giving. So for example, someone outside your company (lets say, Mr. Yamada) sends a present to someone in your company:
「山田さんは同僚にプレゼントをくれました。」
Mr.Yamada (a person outside the company) gave my coworker a present.
Likewise, if an alien gave someone on earth something, we could also use くれる. The aliens being the "outsiders" and humans being the "insiders."
That is, unless you associate yourself more closely with aliens...
「山田さんは同僚にプレゼントをくれました。」
Mr.Yamada (a person outside the company) gave my coworker a present.
Likewise, if an alien gave someone on earth something, we could also use くれる. The aliens being the "outsiders" and humans being the "insiders."
That is, unless you associate yourself more closely with aliens...
Considering the kanji 下 in 下さい、could we also think of it being handed "down" to us - ie from the higher rankings boss and also, aliens who are above us?
