AMONG ANC HUALOL AOU Episode 1: Section 9......1 Bonus Section.......240 TCHS OTA ANC See Cs HONORIFICS EXPLAINED Throughout the Kodansha Comics books, you will find Japanese honorifics left intact in the translations. For those not familiar with how the Japanese use honorifics and, more important, how they differ from American honorifics, we present this brief overview. Politeness has always been a critical facet of Japanese culture. Ever since the feudal era, when Japan was a highly stratified society, use of honorifics—which can be defined as polite speech that indicates relationship or status—has played an essential role in the Japanese language. When addressing someone in Japanese, an honorific usually takes the form of a suffix attached to one’s name (example: “Asuna-san"), is used as a title at the end of one's name, or appears in place of the name itself (example: “Negi-sensei,” or simply “Sensei!"). Honorifics can be expressions of respect or endearment. In the context of manga and anime, honorifics give insight into the nature of the relationship between characters. Many English translations leave out these important honorifics and therefore distort the feel of the original Japanese. Because Japanese honorifics contain nuances that English honorifics lack, it is our policy at Kodansha Comics not to translate them. Here, instead, is a guide to some of the honorifics you may encounter in Kodansha Comics books. “san: — This is the most commen honerific and is equivalent to Mr, Miss, Ms., or Mrs. It is the all-purpose honorific and can be used in any situation where politeness is required. -sama: This is one level higher than “-san” and is used to confer great respect. -done: This comes from the word “tone,” which means “lord.” It is an even higher level than “-sama" and confers utmost respect. -kun: This suffix is used at the end of boys’ names to express familiarity or endearment. It is also sometimes used by men among friends, or when addressing someone younger or of a lower station. -chan: This is used to express endearment, mostly toward girls. It is als used for little boys, pets, and even among lovers. It gives a sense of childish cuteness. Bozu: This is an informal way to refer to a boy, similar to the English terms “kid” and “squirt.” Sempai“ Senpai: This title suggests that the addressee is one’s senior ina group or organization. It is most often used ina school setting, where underclassmen refer to their upperclassmen as “sempai.” It can also be used in the workplace, such as when a newer employee addresses an employee who has seniority in the company. Kohai: This is the opposite of “sempai” and is used toward underclassmen in school or newcomers in the workplace. It connotes that the addressee is of a lower station. Sense/: Literally meaning “one who has come before,” this title is used for teachers, doctors, or masters of any profession or art. -[blank}: This is usually forgotten in these lists, but it is perhaps the most significant difference between Japanese and English. The lack of honorific means that the speaker has permission to address the person in a very intimate way. Usually, only family, spouses, or very close friends have this kind of permission. Known as yobisute, it can be gratifying when someone who has earned the intimacy starts to call one by one’s name without an honorific. But when that intimacy hasn't been earned, it can be very insulting.
