/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I have a question about the japanese language, I know /jp/ doesn't give a shit about japan. But some of you know the language.

I'm curious if the japanese do this shit in real life, in anime they always go name-honorific when they call out to people or imply stuff or anything.

Let's say theres a scene when they have to run, one character turns to another and they said Itasu-kun and he look back and says like Yaoi-san, and then they run.

I think you know what I mean, do they do this shit in real life?

Yes, they do.

>Yaoi-san

This made me chuckle for a solid five seconds.

Do they use honorifics in reality? Yeah.

[Anonymous No.]

No, they use *-nyan.

To expand, not adding a honorific at all is also a honorific, which indicates that you and the person you are speaking to are in a very close or intimate relationship.

Nonono I don't mean the honorifics.

I know they use that. That seems pretty normal.

I mean saying someones name in the middle of a silent moment, or to somehow convey worry.

For example theres a scene where a character does something selfless for a girl. And the girl dosen't go thank you or I'm impressed shes goes like "Hayate-san..."

For example the girls in my picture go like "Ganyru-Sama" the whole time, instead of saying "you're cute" or "you're so compassionate" or "wow you can tell us appart" etc...

Same effect as "OH U" in this side of the world... Oh wait.

I mean, like, when your girlfriend or boyfriend says your name for the sake of saying your name.

> "you're cute" or "you're so compassionate" or "wow you can tell us appart"

Probably just me, but I don't think people in real life say those type of thing out loud unless A: They really like to express themselves B: They are socially inept and can't keep comments to themselves. Which is kinda cute in it's own special way.

Never had anyone say my name just because of saying it, people usually go like "you".

I'm guessing it's the eastern languages where they don't really have that sort of usage of "you" so they have to say the name?

saying "you" sounds a bit rude. Like said person is a total stranger.

Another example is the anime I watched Houkto Ken/First of the North Star.

This girl goes like KEEEEEEEEN KEEEEEEEEN, KEN KEN all the fucking time, I'm asking about that do they really do that?

Also ken is always shouts YURIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

In Japanese at least, you can use either one's name or an antonym, whereas in English antonyms are used far more often.

This girl I'm with says those things to me occasionally, and I mimic her sometimes....

In the US (midwest USA, large city) they call someone's first name like that. Are you European (esp Slavic?)

You keep using this word, "antonym"... I do not think it means what you think it means.

I've always wondered why characters in anime bother with honorifics when in life threatening situations without seconds to spare.

Habit?

If someone calls you by your Internet handle all the time, they will probably do so in real life as well in most cases. Even though it's not the Internet! It's what they're used to.

That's true. I made a character named Amy and my friends started calling me Amy in real life. I am a 23 year old male.
