The Japanese titles "-kun" and "-san" are used to address others respectfully. "-kun" is commonly used for boys or younger males, while "-san" is a general title of respect for both males and females.
honorifics
You can insult someone in Japanese in the same way that you insult people in other languages: by implying that they are socially undesirable, that they are unfit for or unable to do some desirable task, and so forth: in short, by denigrating them. There are various ways to do this in Japanese that are not possible in all other languages: examples include (in contrast with English): (i) addressing the insultee with the wrong kind of grammar (Japanese being marked for the relative social positions of interlocutors) or lexical items; and (ii) leaving out otherwise obligatory honorifics (such as -san affixed to names) or using the incorrect honorifics or forms of address.
The language with the most challenging grammar rules is often considered to be Japanese, due to its complex system of honorifics, verb conjugations, and sentence structures.
Nan* no apaato (ナン*のアパート). In place of * it's better if you add honorifics such as -san (さん) [proper and formal] or -chan (ちゃん) [informal, suggesting familiarity and usually used with girl names].
If you are meaning the honorifics specifically, no they cannot. However homophonic 'words' (such as english Bridge and Chopsticks, or Nose and Flower [hashi and hana respectively]) there are similar names. for example, San (Mr/Ms when an honorific) can be used as a name, however that meaning is not the same.
The Japanese language is known for its challenging grammar rules due to its complex sentence structure, use of honorifics, and multiple levels of formality. Mastering these aspects requires a deep understanding of cultural nuances and linguistic intricacies.
The term "messrs" is a plural form of the title "mister" and an abbreviation of the similar "messieurs". It's often used in English honorifics for men.
These are called honorifics or terms of address.
This was the form of address preferred by Thomas Jefferson, who disliked the use of honorifics like "Excellency", which had sometimes been used to Washington and Adams.
