Thank you. I watch a lot of Japanese movies, heck I even lived there almost 50 years ago, but I never could figure out how to distinguish which honorific belonged to whom. :)

Like how you say its confusing but you also posted “if you guys can’t figure this stuff out, you might as well just give up on the japanese language altogether >_<" and act like a know-it-all.

Did you just forget? LOL

As someone simply browsing the internet for the difference between san, chan, and kun after having watched an anime series that was honorific intensive, Sword Art Online hit the nail on the head with the honorifics. I believe American writers get it wrong when writing cartoon scripts more often than Japanese cartoons created in Japan get it wrong.

So -san can be used for older ones like you grandpa or someone who’s older than you? And would it be no problem if I use -san for girls and -kun for boys?

im confused>< i just watch Kaichou wa Maid sama. :D but im curious what sama is. also, why is misaki ayuzawa is called as misaki chan or misa chan? and i don't know, once, someone call usui as usui san, but his full name is usui takumi. i forgot what website is that, that i read that i can use (name of guy)-kun, because it is more sweet. and i was like "huh? why?"
