I never really knew what exactly the endings on names meant until I found this nifty list in one of my books! =3 Also nabbed a few from Wikipedia that I thought were interesting. -san: This is the most common honorific, and is equivalent to Mr., Miss, Ms., Mrs. It is the all-purpose honorific and can be used in any situation where ploitness is required. -sama: This is one level higher than "-san" and it is used to confer great respect. -dono: This comes from the word "tono" whihc means "lord". It is even a higher level then "-sama" and confers upmost respect. Ue: Literally means "above" and, appropriately, denotes a high level of respect. Its use is no longer very common. -kun: This suffix is is used at the end of boy's name to express familiarity or endearment. It is also sometimes used by men amongst friends, or when adressing someone younger or of a lower station. -chan: This is used to express endearment, mostly towards girls. It is also used for little boys, pets, and even amongst lovers. It gives a sense of childish cuteness. Bozu: This is an informal way to refer to a boy, similar to the English term "kid" or "squirt". Sempai/Senpai: This title suggests that the addressee is one's senior in a group or oganization. It is most often ised in a school setting, where underclassmen refer to their upperclassmen as "sempia." It can also be used in the workplace, such as when a newer employee adresses an employee who has senoriority int he company. Kohai: This is the opposite os "-senpia" and is used towards underclassmen in school or newcomers in the workplace. It connotes that the addressee is of a lower station. Sensei: Literally meaning "one who has come before," this title is used for teachers, doctors, or masters of any profession or art. Iemoto: Even more polite version of sensei used for the highest ranking person heading a school or group in traditional art forms such as calligraphy, flower arrangement or tea ceremony. It is not generally used with the martial arts. [blank]: This is usually forgotten in these lists, but is perhapes the most significant difference between Japanese and English. The lack of honorific means that the speaker has permission to address the person in a very intamate way. Usually, only family, spouses, or very clos friends have this kind of permission. Known as yobisute, it can be very gratifying when someone who has earned the intamacy starts to call one by one's name without an honorific. But when that intimacy hasn't been earned, it can be very insulting. -taichou: I can't personally find anything on this honorific, however in Bleach they use it when reffering to captians of a division. -fukutaichou: Used in Bleach when reffering to vice-captians. « Last Edit: Apr 25, 2007, 8:45pm by Mizu Hanari » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Rukia Kuchiki Shinigami Hater of Chatspeak RP - Graphics Consulant member is offline [Avatar by Me] Joined: Apr 2007 Gender: Female Posts: 33 Location: Tokyo, Japan (or California) Re: Honorific Titles « Reply #1 on Apr 25, 2007, 4:16pm » Arigatou, Meiko-chan!

Also, I'd like to add that [fukutaichou] in Bleach is used to address the vice captains. :] Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Mizu Hanari Human 5th Division member is offline Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 15 Re: Honorific Titles « Reply #3 on Apr 25, 2007, 8:40pm » Thank you for mentioning fukutaichou, I completely forgot about hearing that one. ^__^''' And yes it should be sempai/senpai...

In Samurai 7, some of the characters refer to Kyuzo as 'Kyuzou-dono" so I was wondering what it meant. Wow, they give him a more significant suffix than Kambei. He doesn't own any land to my knowledge, though. Not sure why they'd use the title.
