USAGE:
貴社 is used exclusively in written communication. In spoken language, 御社 is used instead. This distinction is important and commonly tested in job interview preparation.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- 貴社の発展 (your company's growth)
- 貴社に応募する (to apply to your company)
- 貴社のご{繁栄} (your company's prosperity)
SIMILAR WORDS:
- 御社: your company (honorific, spoken)
- 弊社: our company (humble form)
- 当社: our company (neutral)
NOTE:
Because きしゃ is a homophone of 汽車 (train) and 記者 (reporter), it is almost always used in writing where the kanji makes the meaning clear.
