ohayo - good morning

watachiwa- i dunno what's the meaning of this

by the way, the suffix "san", "chan", and "kun" eg. "mao-chan", "kame-kun", what does it usually mean?


These are the most common honorifics used when you say someone's name:

-san = Generally for any person you first meet. It means Mr./Ms./Mrs.
(eg. "Keiji-san" would mean "Mr. Keiji" in english)

-kun = Generally for any BOY that you may know.
(eg. "Kame-kun" just plainly means you're saying a boy's name)

-chan = Generally for any child/girl/close friend. It is insulting to use this when saying a boy's name you're not close to
(eg. "Mao-chan" just plainly means you're saying a girl's name)
Image If you call a guy you're not close to "-chan" he will be insulted

-tan = Boy version of "-chan" only used if you're close to this person

-sama = Generally for a person of higher status or higher ranking than you
(eg. "Matsumoto-sama" just plainly means you're respectfully stating that this person is higher than you)

-senpai = Generally for an upperclassman at school
(eg. "Keiji-senpai" would literally mean "Upperclassman Keiji")

-sensei = Generally for a person you're learning from or someone of high profession like teacher/doctor/lawyer
(eg. "Matsumoto-sensei" would either mean "Dr. Matsumoto" or "Teacher Matsumoto" depending on what his/her profession is)

many thanks sakura fan... Image and sakura means cherry blossom if i'm not mistaken..correct me if i'm wrong..

****

Watashi wa means "I am"
Watashi = I
wa = grammatic particle when stating the previous word is the subject
