i got one Q here.............can someone tell wath the "SAMA" , "SAN" and "KUN" means..i guess that "sama" means something like SR., or something that is of higher Rank and "KUn" - something equivalent to youth, or Young, .....but i want the exact meaning!

MidoriShinobi · 2004-09-15, 18:16

Um, I'm not good at explaning, but I'll try my best, okay? ^o^;

-sama is a suffix used when you have tremendous respect for that person.
It's a very formal way of speaking. (ex. Hokage-sama, Kami-sama*, ect.)

-san is just a general suffix used on most people, and
it shows respect, but on a smaller degree.
(ex. Tsunade-san is like "Miss Tsunade")

-kun is either used by adults on young boys, or by girls on boys they like or feel familiar with.
(ex. Tsunade calls Naruto "Naruto-kun" and so does Hinata)

*Kami is the Japanese word for God

Here the common ones :

Quote:

-chan (chahn) : Small or baby. Used among very close friends and relatives, especially females.
-kohai (ko-hah-ee) : One's junior. Usually substituted with - kun or -chan.
-kun (kun): Used among very close friends and relatives, especially males.
-sama (sah-mah) : Lord. Used when addressing people of utmost respect or when referring to gods. Usually employed in concurrence with a title but can also be used with a name.
-san (sahn) : A close equivalent to Mr. and Mrs. Used as a respectful method of addressing people of similar status.
-senpai (sen-pah-ee) : Upperclassman. Used in relation to fellow classmates of higher level or age.
-sensei (sen-say) : Teacher or master. Used either at school or while being involved in a discipline or art.

There's also "-dono" which is basically just an old version of 'sama.'

Question*

I know Itachi is mainly ninjutsu and everything.. but when it comes to Taijutsu, doesn't he seem to pack a nice little wallop with his blows?

Kurenai flew quite a nice couple of meters when he kicked her into the water.. and everytime he his Sasuke, even with little backhands and kicks he always flew to the back of the room..

He kinda reminds Zabuza, since Zabuza kicked Kakashi quite a nice way himself..

Well...In the Anime they are still in anticipation of the outcome of the Exam.

I would say yes they do, because I doubt Gamakichi*(Gamabunta's son) Is gonna be a little squirt all his life. Maybe one day he will be the frog boss.

But id say they aged slower.

Gaara. · 2004-09-20, 09:41

Skorpa · 2004-09-20, 09:53

Q...
How come Kakashi does the chidori with his right hand while Sasuke uses his left hand?

Hunter · 2004-09-20, 11:39

Maybe because Kakashi is right-handed whereas Sasuke is left-handed?

But I kinda remember that Sasuke wrote with his right hand during the first part of the Chuunin exam so Sasuke is probably ambidextrous and use the Chidori with his left hand because
