What does hito mean in Japanese?

Answer 1

人 (hito) means person in Japanese and に (ni) is a particle to indicate location. So 人に would be indicating an action related to people. For example, 人にぶつかった (hito ni butsukatta) would mean "I bumped into someone, where the bumping into someone is directly said by 人にぶつかった and I as a subject is left understood from context.

Answer 2

The word 人 (hito) can be used to mean 'person' or 'people' in Japanese.

Example:世界には玉ねぎが嫌いな人もいる (sekai niwa tamanegi ga kirai na hito mo iru) - "There are some people in the world that don't like onions."
