Now I understand of using the common Japanese honorifics like -kun, -san, & -chan.
This is all I ever wanted.
+Reina Scully what about "-tan" Reina sensei
"tan" is a deformation of/how babies pronounce "chan", and is generally used while addressing a kid or a lover, you can also use it with a friend, but it's generally as a teaser, similar to "chin" .
Uh ok. Weird wording. Is that supposed to be a joke?
KONNICHIWA MINA-SAMA! :) Did you enjoy this episode?! Was it helpful?? Did you know everything already because you've watched way too much anime in your lifetime????!
Great lesson, Reina-sensei :D
How often is mina-_sama_ used? I understand -sama can be used when paying respect to for example a customer, but I can't think of many situations where you would need to address an entire group of people with -sama.
I usually only hear mina-san. In fact I don't think I've ever head the honorific changed from -san following mina. A teacher might refer to all her pupils as -kun but, as far as I know, that same teacher wouldn't collectively greet them with with mina-kun.
Sincerely, a weeb who barely knows surface Japanese.
I did know all of this already, lol. Actually I do have a question though. I was watching Gintama a while back and remember Gin arguing with Hijikata trying to decide who would be in charge or something similar. Gin called Hijikata "Hijikata kun" in a condescending tone (at least I think it was condescending). I assumed Gin was calling him Kun in order to put him down and try to suggest that Gin was of a higher station. Am i correct in assuming this or did I ascribe comedy to a statement in which there was none?
Reina Scully What about Son, Like for example Son Goku?
DMG dubP Lol dude, Son is Goku's family name. Gohan is also Son Gohan. I didn't know this to start with either so don't feel bad.
Oh ok cool lol.
Reina-sama ❤
kya
DIO sama
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
got respect for this tho jjba is legitimate
This was a good reference to have. Although I have been studying Japanese for close to ten years now the usage of "kun" in a school setting. Especially when called by teachers when the characters were in fact female, always confused me. Now I know and it makes so much more sense. Thank you Reina - sensei
Can you guys do episodes on festivals (school cultural, sports, summer)? Or how the school system is different from what is typical in the west?
This is my understanding of Japanese honorifics:
🇯🇵 _San_ is the most common honorific.
🇯🇵 _Sama_ is used for a person of higher status - shop staff use it to address customers.
🇯🇵 _Kun_ is used to address a person of lower rank or status. It's the honorific that the Emperor and other members of the Imperial House would use to refer to me.
🇯🇵 _Chan_ implies cuteness, often childlike.
🇯🇵 _Tan_ implies an even greater level of cuteness.
🇯🇵 _Sensei_ is used to address people who do certain very important jobs, such as teachers or doctors. In addition, if you train in martial arts, you'll address your master as _sensei._
🇯🇵 _Senpai,_ the literal meaning of which is somewhat similar to _sensei,_ is used to address a person of higher rank in an organisation. It's what you'd use to address Shigeru Miyamoto, who holds a senior position (Creative Fellow) at the video game company Nintendo.
🇯🇵 _Denka_ is used for princes and princesses.
🇯🇵 _Heika_ is used to address the Emperor and Empress, as well as the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita.
Thank you! I'm a long time manga/anime enthusiast (20+ years) So I've basically already guessed at the meanings. But it was nice to have them explained. Don't know exactly why I never bothered to look it up before lol
"Shishou" reminds me of Umaru-chan. That's how Kirie called Umaru and it always sounded very cute.
I loved that, too!
reminds me of masamune-kun no revenge.
Gracias for this video! This is an excellent video supplement to our novel study in 4th grade! "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes"! And yes, we are totally making desk tags with Japanese honorifics and nope, I'm not Spanish. Just a regular Americana teacher who digs language .
What about "dono"? I've only heard it a few times in anime and i have no idea of what it means.
From what I understand it's similar to -sama, but slightly more respectful and a little archaic. Best I can compare it to in English would be "my lord" instead of "sir".
It seems to me an archaic version of -san, respectfully used for people of similar status.
It's between -san and -sama and is used for one's lord or master.
The only consensus here seems to be that it's old and so most likely in disuse so you don't really have to worry about it if you're trying to learn Japanese.
dono means lord
i called my crush senpai once but he didn't get so it was awkward
Brian Alleyne But did he notice you?
Probably gay
Well, seeing as his name is Brian, and their crush is a dude, I would assume so.
why would you even use that if he's not japanese or knows japanese besides humour lol?
Habit?
Many anime, much learn
Jiraiya-sama, Reina-senpai (y) (y)
The video quality is far better on RUclips than Crunchyroll's own website >.>
Ahhh thank you so much Renia-Sama! I really needed this, since I'm working on something, that needs these words, so people wont call me out for it!
I'm going to forget everything you just explained the only two I got a grip of understanding is the honorific of San and sama !
Ex
Cerberus, short name Kero is at most times called “Kero-Chan”
Maya Fey’s Japanese name is at most times pronounced “Mayoi-Chan”. However Pearl Fey uses “Mayoi-Sama” in the Japanese version (in English Pearl calls Maya “Mystic-Maya”)
Phoenix Wright’s Japanese name is referred to as “Naruhodo-Kun”.
Thanks for this! I knew WHAT honorifics were, but I didn't know the difference between them and, for some reason, never thought to do any research on them.
im old enough and have watched enough anime and Japanese cinema to have discovered this myself but it was still nice to get the offical low down.
o/ *san or *kun doesnt necessarily need to be attached to a name ,it can also be found attached to ironic insults (example :sasuke calling naruto "bibi-kun" (
I think it’s funny how I’m watching food wars and it got my interested in what all the suffixes mean, and now they are referencing that very anime.
Very educational. Thanks CR
Brings back memories of the Reina-sensei series on her personal channel.
Subbed because of Reina!
THIS HELPED SO MUCH THANK YOU
My favorite -sama? obviously Reina-sama!
Nami-swan!! Robin-chwan!!!
^ ^ ^ lol
The Original Time I Have Posted Before Anyone Else!! Without Using The Expected Word!!! WOOT WOOT!!
I learned about honorifics from the glossary section of Rurouni Kenshin manga back in the day. Kaoru-dono.
arigato @reinascully-sama
great video, I appreciate these and learn a lot especially from Reina whom I trust as when teaching these things. #reina-sensei
Mikey Singleton Have you happend to watch the Reina-sensei series on her channel?
Sean Dionisio what that is a thing?!?!? I shall go there NOWWWWW
Thank you for the lesson Reina-san.👏
an dhere i was hoping an explanation about where XXXXXX-dono fitted in all of these
I wonder if there could be enough material on trends in forming nicknames to cover that. Contracting -chan into a name seems so common in anime (or that's what I thought the -n suffix is).
Holo-sama from spice and wolf, she is true best girl in my opinion.
i could watch reina scully every day
like waiting for her to upload another video.....
Most of the Anime I watch is English Dubbed, most English Dub version don’t use Honorifics, however Ai Yori Aoshi in Dub still uses Honorifics.
>_> Favorite -sama is Cami-sama (Camus from UtaPri). I wish y'all would've covered more than just the basic four, including -cchi, -tan, -pyon, -han, -chin, -dono, -tama/-chama, -pi, -shi, etc.
I needed this video. Never understood that well.
Thank you for this.
Favourite is ORICHIMARU-Sama
You're my favorite-Chan
Kanamori-shi
Oyakata-sama! (Takeda Shingen)
*punch to the face*
Reina Senpai!!!!
I like dono. it's old but it reminds me the samurai era
Tama-chan!
Beerus-sama !!
Beerus is just the cutest, most cuddly lil' God of Destruction! :p
Do you know what "Son" means?
no, (o.O) what does Son mean ?!
That's what I would like to know ahaha. It's what they have for Goku, as in, Son Goku.
Oh, interesting!
Like M Willow stated, Son is Goku's family name and thus you have Son Goku, Son Gohan and Son Goten and I think Son Pan? lol and Chi Chi would be Son chi chi?
reina San is so awesome
Reina rocks.
Reina sama!!
I know that this is not really an anime term, but I just found out what doujinshi is. Would you explain it in the next video?
I already know all of these terms, but I got so happy when Food Wars! Erina and Hisako were on there ! ^_^
this was mind blowing
I like Beerus Sama
after watching so many anima i figured all that out, but this video really cleared up any confusion i had. love there videos and look forward to more of them!!!!!!1..........and i have fare to many favorite to just pick one sama!!!@@
Reina-sama *heavy breathing*
My favorite sama
Dio-sama
Anyone else wondering why Crunchyroll blocked the "What is SENTAI?" episode for Latin America??
shinigami sama from soul eater!
Can miles explain to is the obscure things like why in rakugo they often use ~han
Jiren-sama
Oikawa calls everyone [insert]-chan.
Finally I hope people watch this and use them right
Zone-Sama
Eucliwood hellscythe-dono
When I Download Your App, I clicked the Search Button To See If There's Attack On Titan, but everytime i search, There's No Results. Is there Something Wrong?
now I understand these honorifics 😊
As a native English speaker, Asian honorifics always have and will feel so foreign to me. I can't imagine myself referring to same-year classmates as "Mr." or "Mrs.", or some equivalent of "-san".
Hello, on Re:Zero, Subaru address Emilia as Emilia-tan. Is this also an honorific?
IT WOULD BE GREAT If you went over those last three and maybe put them in any sort of order...
it sounds like senpai then sama then... Shisho??
Sigh.
and one more thing
you never use honorifics abaut yourself
Kaname-sama💕
can anyone tell me the names of the animes on 1:29 and 1:44?
Favorite sama is luffy-sama
My sama is Albert frazer
Jiraiya-sama. Perverted Sensei.
I think my favorite -sama is Minna-sama! or maybe Haruhi-sama...
Obviously my favorite senseis are Reina-sensei and Victoria-sensei :-)
All praise DIO SAMA
every sama that does the Ohohohohoho laugh
Shinigami-sama from Soul Eater!!!!!! XD
Satsuki sama is best sama
Kaname sama 😍😍😍
Ah, I can never quite describe them to other people, now I can just show them this
ERINA-SAMA
Aizen-sama best sama
Anime at 1:45?
Thanks to youtube, I could slow the video down to half so I don't need to listen to it as a rap lol
Ainz-sama
Shishio Makoto-sama :)
Do subtiles on Crunchyroll leave the honorifics on ?
When you already know everything hahahaha. Also Yato-sama is the best
I always felt like "chan" was sort of the baby talk version of "san".
DIO SAMA
So what is the meaning of calling someone by their name without adding any honorifics? Is it something only close friends would do?
Now I get it
erina sama Is best
zen oh sama
