Posted February 21, 2011 Honorifics are more an indication of the speaker's perception of the relationship, and there is a slant towards whatever is more "cutesy", especially when young girls are involved. Course I could have gone for really close and personal by leaving out any honorific altogether. Anyways... stop trying to deflect and make with the funny :-* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah, i am confused about that too. -san and -kun sometimes they are used by same person talking with someone? -chan thats for girls iirc, but i saw -chan used with guys too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 21, 2011 Was told once chan originated as a cutesy way of saying san until it became an honorific in its own right. It can be used for both girls and boys; however, the general context is in a cute or endearing manner such as with a baby. To use it towards someone superior than you can be rude. Course human relationships can become extremely complex, and the usage of japanese honorifics reflects this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
