Euphonic suffixes and wordplay[edit] In informal speech, some Japanese people may use contrived suffixes in place of normal honorifics. This is essentially a form of wordplay, with suffixes being chosen for their sound, or for friendly or scornful connotations.
Although the range of
such suffixes that might be coined is limitless, some have gained such widespread usage that the boundary between established honorifics and wordplay has become a little blurred. Examples of such suffixes include variations on -chan (see below), -bee (scornful), and -rin (friendly). [14] Unlike a proper honorific, use of such suffixes is governed largely by how they sound in conjunction with a particular name, and on the effect the speaker is trying to achieve. Baby talk variations[edit] Some honorifics have baby talk versions—mispronunciations stereotypically associated with small
children and cuteness, and more frequently used in popular entertainment than in everyday speech.
