Chapter 1: Vocabulary
Heyyy! So, I've decided to write a vocabulary here as some might not be able to understand the words and will also lessen your time if you want to search the meaning of words or honorifics I'm writing or adding on a character's name. ^^
●san- it's the most common honorific used in Japan and is equivalent to Ms., Mr., Miss, or Mrs.
●chan- honorific used for girls, close friends or lovers. It adds a sense of cuteness. Only used between people who have known each other for a long time.
●kun- used when referring to men in general and by superiors to address those of junior status. Don't use this to your boss!
●sama- most formal honorific, formal version of 'san'. Used for guests, costumers, or divine gods
●senpai- means an upperclassman, senior employee or other older person with whom you have dealings. Conversely, kohai (後輩) is the junior or lower person.
●dono- It roughly means "lord" or "master", though it does not necessarily mean "of noble status". Rather, it is similar to "milord" in meaning. It is more formal than -san or -sama.
●Hai- The basic word for "Yes"
●baka- (馬鹿, ばか (hiragana), or バカ (katakana) means "fool; idiot", or (as an adjectival noun) "foolish" and is the most frequently used pejorative term in the Japanese language.
