Japanese, like other languages, uses a broa array of honorifics for addressing or referring to people with respect. In Japanese, these forms of address follow a person's name in the manner of a suffix. The most common—and well-known outside Japan—is san, which semantically coincides roughly with the courtesy titles "Mr.", "Mrs.", and "Ms." in English. Unlike in English, in Japanese honorifics may be attached to surnames, first names, and even professional titles. Other common ones include sama, sensei, kun, and chan.
