Talk:Japanese/Lessons/Personal suffixes and name usage

Untitled
For the beginner, I think that -san, -sama, -chan, -kun, and -sensei are probably more than adequate. The other honorifics should be moved to a different page.

This page also has way too much explanation and almost no examples. I think that a beginning student would find this page very hard to understand.


 * Alternatively, we could keep them on this page, but put them under a new section such as "rarely used honorifics". This way they are all in place, but the reader knows that they should just familiarise themselves with the suffixes, but not to bother studying/memorising them. – Sik0fewl 16:42, 23 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Ah, yeah like we did on the personal pronoun page. OK. If you are faster than me, you may do that separation, marking the rest as additional. I can do it at the end of the week. --lastguru 18:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)


 * just do not say "rarely used", just additional or less used or something like that, because they are not entirely rare, and as our course is deep, as opposed to easy fast, I would really like it to list at least as much usable information as I did. --lastguru 18:57, 23 August 2005 (UTC)


 * oh well, wanted to put one deletion back, so separated the lists by the way. if you want a note there - put it :) ... --lastguru 23:02, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Is there going to be a dialogue or some other language resource that the the student will be looking at while studying honorifics? - ToothingLummox 11:47, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
