Anakin Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi Jeyjen-san, The word 'san' is a suffix. It is kinda like Mr./Ms./Mrs. It has phonetically changed from 'sama', a more polite form. It shows respect or affection to the person/animal you mention. In case of a child, pet, brothers/sisters, close family and friends, or someone /something we adore, we usually use 'chan' instead; e.g. Mika chan, Anakin-chan, my little rose chan (my dear little rose tree). By using chan we show affection to that person/animal/things. If I call him Mika sama, it surely would sound silly (lol). He is Mika chan. So, in order of politeness, 1. sama (most polite form; usually we use it for clients/patients, someone you provide services) 2. san (most commonly used/versatile form; you can use this for someone you know/you do not know. But we do not use it when we mention our family, colleagues/bosses to a third-party) 3. chan (used in case of close relationship or someone very young) For Freddie Mercury, I would rather use Freddie sama, lol!

Blue Sky Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Ha, s & h & i & t turns automatically ****, how funny, lol! Hi Anakin, Miori-Mary and all I tried to write Hajimemash*te once before and had the censor happen!! Now I am in Melbourne, on my sister's non-JP computer, so can't even write any Nihongo, but Konnichiwa to all new/old Nihonjin fans, I am Blue Sky from Tokyo, the crazy addicted overwhelmed obasan who met Mika last Monday night, and have not been normal ever since. I am sitting through the conference sessions here, gazing at my Mika pics ALL DAY...okashikunatchatta. Byoki mitai...hokano hanashi wa dekinakunachatte sa.... But I am converting all the conference attendees to Mika!! Very funny!! I am glad there is a Japanese thread Mary, I said that to people at Liquid Room on Monday. Hey you guys, get on MFC and start a JP thread!!! So now we have one. Excellent. BTW Mary, your sig says #3 fan, who are #1 and 2? Yoroshiku onegaishima-su!!

Anakin Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Howday Blue Sky! Thanks again for everything you did for us at the gig! How could we thank you! <I am sitting through the conference sessions here, gazing at my Mika pics ALL DAY...okashikunatchatta. Byoki mitai...hokano hanashi wa dekinakunachatte sa.... But I am converting all the conference attendees to Mika!! Hahahahahaha! You are surrounded by how many Mika?! Good thing you are not turning them into sausage or something else with an imaginary wand, lol! Pretty much the same at Mixi (ladies FYI Mixi is a social networking service in Japan and we have a fan club there called We Love Mika!). People do not seem to know how to live after he is GONE (sigh. Too short). Mika Mika darling, you are such a naughty boy, making all the girls an boys crazy about you. Tsumi na hito ne! Ikenai ko yo! Blue Sky ga byoki ni nacchatta jya nai! Anata ga Blue Sky wo annmari tsuyoku hug suru kara yo! (I said Blue Sky is gone crazy since Mika hugged her so hard) ! ミカ病よ！ I love Melbourne! My favorite destination! I go to Australia once a year to dive at GBR, then down to Sydney & Melbourne for the amazing FOOD. One of the best in the world! I never miss Balmoral beach and the Bather's pavillion (a famous restaurant)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Cazgirl chan! Konnichiwa! Hai, Mika ha, everywhere desu! He said he would be back next year, but looking at the crazy crowd at the gig, I guess the gig will be at much larger concert hall... Blue Sky help us getting the best spot for all of us, ppppplease! Oh Blue sky now Mary is the moderator of WLM. I have retired. I cannot spend much time at Mixi anymore because I work for looooong hours on PC, and my doctor said less time! Oops looks like I will live here...danger! I have got to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
