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 
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
-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
