Titles, name-suffixes
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 19:42
Ok, as many of you know there are many suffixes you can place after someone's name to pay someone respect or simply declare that you are of higher powers ![Razz Razz](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I'll try as best as i can from my mind, and will look up them some more afterwards to see that i say the right things.
Also.. if im missing something do tell me... i don't know them all that's for sure
-san <-> Most similiar to Mr and Mrs/Miss
-chan <--> A suffix you use when talking to a younger person or a childhood friend. Mainly for girls i suppose.
-kun <--> This is more like equal in ranks, something you'd use for a classmate or someone you work with
-sama <--> Something you say to your beloved one, or king (upper person), or master
-dono <--> I think this title is a bit older, used for generals and upper people who are not -sama:s![Very Happy Very Happy](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
-senpai <--> For people older than you that you want to pay your respects to (can be used without a name too).
-sensei <--> Teachers, simply enough, and such people (can be used without a name too).
Hm, Robert runs with a lighter, gotta check that
