chefpyrosjunk-deactivated201707: Also I'm not exactly versed in anime but I've noticed characters putting things on the ends of other characters' names in Survival Games Club like chan and san and I dunno if there's any logic to it so explain that.

that’s obnoxious cultural mannerisms of the japans dude, not anime - .-

they use honorifics to reflect respect for the person and their personal space or such, idk what the reasoning behind it is but from the animes I’ve seen, when you say someone’s name without an honorific you’re either really close bros or an uncultured barbarian there’s no inbetween - .-

-san is a default for respecting commonfolk you interact with everyday
-chan is for friends and close workbuds but is mostly a childish mispronounciation of san
-kun is for MALE friends and close workbuds
-sama is for higher ups who have power over you
-dono I think is for when they’re dear to you

they don’t traslate to anything directly tho - .-

There, now come tell me I’m wrong ya nerds, I’m all open just fuck me up - .-

About 50% wrong.

-san is correct. Generally speaking, use -san.

-chan is for children talking to children, childhood friends, or girls you know well

-kun is for guys you know well, or a teacher addressing a student

-sama is half correct, it’s a sign of respect. Always a good one to use.

-dono translates to something like lord or master. It’s way above -sama, but similar meaning. Use sparingly to those deserving the utmost respect. Rarely used in modern speech.

There are loads of others, and there are additional potential meanings to these ones, but it can get a bit complicated.

I know the language for some reason (AKA I thought it would be cool to learn it as an extra module at uni, I was wrong, it was not cool).

jad you nerd

I wonder if I can find a 2 meter-tall locker somewhere >:y
