Honorific Game

Recommended Posts

Here, you basically post the name of the person above you, and choose an honorific based on how well you know the person or what you think of them. Here are the honorifics I know...

____-san: basic, for people you've just met or are being formally respectful towards.

____-sama: more respectful, this is used if you are a fan of someone, and it's high;y deferent.

____-han: Kansai-ben form of 'san.' It can be used the same way as it.

____-dono: used to show a high class, or high age in respect to the speaker. not commonly used.

____-sensei: used when speaking to teachers, doctors, and professionals.

____-shishou: used for a teacher or master in traditional arts, denotes extreme respect for the person.

____-kun: the most widely-used male honorific. It denotes friendship or a lower age. (it's used for girls of a lower age or class than yourself, to avoid the informality of 'chan'

____-chan: used toward girls, usually by girls, denoting closeness or endearment. Used for males it becomes disrespectful or derogative, unless the person is younger or extremely close to you.

____-chin: a very rarely used honorific that is more informal than 'chan.' usually used by girls to make pronunciation simpler, and to shorten a name. Ex: "Asami" would become "Asamin"

____-tan: a childish form of 'chan' usually a mispronounciation before becoming a habit. almost NEVER used by adults.

____-tama/chama: cutesy, chidish version of 'sama'

____-pyon: slang denoting closeness or a romantic relationship.

____-me: a sarcastic, derogatory honorific, rarely used.

____-senpai/sempai:used to denote the other person's seniority in school, age, or an activity.

____-kouhai: denotes your own seniority compared to your conversation partner. considered rude in many cases.

____-shi: an honorific used often in writing, for a person you are unfamiliar with.

____-aniki: a derisive or informal way of referring to someone as 'older brother'

____-hakase: used in speaking to a doctor or professor one has respect for.

____-niisan/neesan(or 'nii/neechan') used to refer to an older sibling, or sometimes a close relative. 'niichan/neechan' is a cute form of the honorific

____-jisan/basan (and jii/baasan); refers to and aunt or uncle. jii and baasan are used to refer to grandparents.

____-bozu: generally used toward young boys, it's the equivalent of 'squirt' in english. denotes childishness or youth

____-ojou(sama): literally 'Princess' used as a romantic or admiring honorific.
