the honorific kun

Kun is an informal honorific primarily used towards males . It is used by persons of senior status in addressing those of junior status, by males of roughly the same age and status when addressing each other, and by anyone in addressing male children. It can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to. Usually it depends on the relationship between the two people







btw just in case u was wondering a honorific is a word or expression that conveys esteem or respect when used in addressing or referring to a person. Like"Miss." , "Mrs" , " Doctor" or "Coach" to us
