While some honorifics such as "- san" are very frequently used due to their gender neutrality and very simple definition of polite unfamiliarity, other honorifics such as "- chan" or "- kun" are more specific as to the context in which they must be used as well as the implications they give off when attached to a person's name . These implications can only be translated into English using either adjectives or adjective word phrases . </P> <P> San (さん) (sometimes pronounced han (は ん) in Kansai dialect) is the most commonplace honorific and is a title of respect typically used between equals of any age .

Because it is the most common honorific, it is also the most often used to convert common nouns into proper ones, as seen below . </P> <P> San may be used in combination with workplace nouns, so a bookseller might be addressed or referred to as honya - san ("bookstore" + san) and a butcher as nikuya - san ("butcher's shop" + san). </P>
