Regarding the question of salutation in Japanese

Next Chapter

Since neon is a little different from the customs of our country, I will talk about some of my understanding of the Japanese name.

No matter in which cultural circle, people are divided into intimacy, these intimacy and alienation are like a circle, the dot is oneself, and the closer to the dot, the closer the person is to himself. And the nearest one is the circle of relatives and friends.

Circle of relatives and friends: For neon people, the most intimate is the circle of relatives and friends, which includes husband and wife, girlfriends, friends (fog), lovers, parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. These people are the closest people to the neon people, and generally speaking, these people call the dotted people by nicknames or direct names, for example, small + name, or a nickname that can only be called between two people. For example, in Sakura Village, Misaki Uei Kusa calls her best friend Saori Himenomiya "Hao Hao"; Another example is Shana, Yuji's mother calls Shana "Little Shana". It would be rude to use these titles for someone else.

Next is the circle of friends, which includes relatives who are more distant from their parents and husband and wife, as well as friends who are more distant. It is common for relatives and elders in this circle to call oneself by name, but if it is a woman, it is necessary to add a weakened honorific title, and if it is not added, it will be considered rude. When the same generation intersects, they use each other's surnames without honorifics, or use honorifics with a weaker tone, and if they are of the lower generation, they often add honorifics to show their status. For example, surname + seniors or something.

Example: In "Fit Stays Tonight", the coyote and the scum call each other, the coyote thinks that the slag is more of a friend, so he calls the name of the slag two: Shen Er, and in order to deliberately show the distance and status gap between himself and the coyote, he calls the coyote's surname: Emiya. And after the coyote became more familiar with Rin Tosaka, they called each other "Tosaka" and "Emiya". When the favorability between the two is full in the later part of the animation, they will directly call each other's names "Shiro" and "Rin".

Far Friend Circle: The meaning of Far Friend Circle is basically "nodding friends", which can be regarded as a relatively distant relationship. Colleagues, colleagues, and classmates can all fall into this category. In this category, honorifics are indispensable. For example, the general title is "surname + jun".

For elders or people of higher status, honorifics are often added to highlight their status. For example, a certain senior is often called by surname + "senior". If the other party's status is lower than his/her own,It's generally called with a surname + Jun.,If you don't call it like that,It's considered rude.。 And if the people in the first circle call it like this, they are definitely expressing their dissatisfaction: for example, in clannad, when the ginseng prostitute Tomoto Okazaki is also called "kun" by his father, he is very angry.

zuihou is the acquaintance circle, the people in this circle can only be described as one side, the people in this circle meet each other, the level of identity, and the respect of the seniority will determine the degree of initiative in the relationship.

There are more examples of this.,There are such scenes in many anime.,When the little people see the big guys.,Usually say your name first.,And then say your own information like an endorsement.,zuihou also has to add a sentence "Please take care of me". And the big guy only needs to say his name, and if he says some formal scenes later, it will definitely increase a lot of favorability.

In the future, please understand the title in our book according to this, and don't be surprised by some customs that are different from those of the Celestial Empire.
