Wow! That is really cool ^^ although I dont know what I would use their names for hms...
Ill have to think of some cool sentence to have you translate!

[Dan7el]

Can you explain name endings?

For example:

Naruto-san would be like Mr. Naruto, right?
What is:
Naruto-kun?
Naruto-chan?
Naruto-sama?

[ilovetigers_34]

chan is "cute" like more used for girls but still used 4 guyz.... it is usually for kids in elementary schoool or lower... <12
san is used as a normal suffix. if you were the same age, or similar, you'd call him/her that.
kun is only used for males and is slighlty higher than san and if someone is older than you by 2 or 3 years (for kids) or 10 years(for adults) u'd use it. NOTE: senpai - meaning older person i look up to is often used instead of a name and suffix (like a senior at skewl when your a first year (yr 7/8 to a 11/12)
sama - means god... when someone is of high importance or has done something relly good...etc... you call them _____-sama
thus the leader of the country is __________-sama and his grandson is also_____-sama because of their stupid "respect thing"

general notes.... if you shorten someones name and add chan it is a nickname like mine is travis in jap torabisu-kun but tora-chan would be a nick name like trav/travy and btw...how awesome tora means...TIGER!!! i didn't know that at first:P

gama is like sama but used as a noun.... such as in bleach shini - gama means
shin/i - death
gama - god (as a person)

i think that is about it... also the newer subs are coming out with more notes up the top...READ THEM!!! they will teach u shitloads.....

Thanks a ton for the useful information. Where and how did you learn Japanese?

is a really really good place to learn japanese, right now im working on the writting im trying to remember katakana then hiragana. Im doing pretty good with katakana, a few more weeks and i should know most of it, if not all. the japanese langue is so sexy. lol ^.^

Since Naruto is the the guys first name, isn't it incorrect to say Naruto-san, since you are only allowed to attach san to the last name?

[anbu_raidou]

^^ i think u left somthing out
sama can also be used for someone you respect

like hokage-same

same as the dono prefix

kazekage-dono

but dono is mostly used for people of same or higher class mostly used in the feudal era of japan when talking to samurai class or above people

if im not mistaken and yes those notes on top do teach u alot
