By Kirsten Carey May 26th, 2022, 3:46 pm If you’ve watched subbed anime, you’ve absolutely heard one character cry out to another with a long “saaaaaaan!” attached at the end. For native English speakers, the “honorifics” used at the end of
Japanese names can be kind of confusing. The honorifics we have in English precede names, things like “Mr. ,” “Ms. ,” “Doctor,” etc. But honorifics in Japan work quite differently—they come in
after someone’s name, and most of them are not tied to perceived gender (PHEW). Plus, they’re used in a much wider span of social situations. The most common honorifics in Japanese are san, kun, chan, sama, sensei, and senpai. Recommended Videos One thing to keep in mind here, for both anime-watching and real-life, is that what honorific someone uses is very contextual, which means it can say a lot about how they think about the other person. In Neon Genesis Evangelion, for example, “Shinji-kun” is ubiquitous, but the would-be parallel “Asuka-chan” is not. It’s an interesting linguistic nuance to key into—you can learn a lot about characters and their relationships due to the omission or inclusion of one word.
