-chan is more of an endearment which you put after a person's name. It is usually added to the name of a girl, child, pet, or even a lover. It gives a sense of cuteness to the name
-sama is a suffix added to the name of a person being called with great respect.

∙ 6y agoThe Japanese suffix "-sama" is used when you greatly admire someone. Or if someone is a lot higher than you in rank. It can be like 'Lord' for a man and 'Lady' for a woman. Like maybe for talking to your boss at work, or for addressing someone high in government or something.
It means someone that is high and powerful
Its not used very often in every day use anymore, only for kings or presidents.

∙ 12y agoI noticed the last answer was wrong. The last answer sounded more like the suffix kun.
The suffix -chan is for cute or young girls. Maybe a young woman, and barely for a boy (if it is for a boy, it's either in a nickname, or when they boy is still really young). It should not be used for a grown man because it would be found offensive.
