What is meant by the term first person?

Answer 1

The term first person means the viewpoint character, the person who is speaking, as identified by the pronoun I. I am the first person (so to speak). It's a grammatical term. I denotes the first person, you denotes the second person, and he or she or they denotes the third person. I speak, you are the person to whom I am speaking, and they are the people about whom I am speaking.

Answer 2

First person refers to the grammatical perspective where the speaker or writer refers to themselves, using pronouns like "I," "me," or "we." It provides a direct, personal viewpoint of the events or experiences being described.
