pwede lang man cguro masu form lang ang gamiton among us.. in a way medyo closely acquainted na man hehe...
kung friends, plain form.
the very polite forms are used for people who are older than you and you just met recently (like for the first time, or 2nd time maybe) or with people who hold higher positions in the workplace.

doushite ka na? iya.. iya.. joudan desu.
( ngano ka ha? , no am just joking )

oshigoto desu.

abuot-san ima nani wo shitte imasu ka?

@boredtosanity:

kekkon? hmm yotei ha nai desu.
marriage? I don't have plans yet.

[abuot]

samokan-san,shittemasu..

when can we use "chan" over "san"?
unsa pa diay lain isumpay sa pangan to add respect?..ang ako nahibaw-an is "sama" which is for master/lord,ryt?

[samokan]

chan is for little girls

sometimes among friends, they use chan

kun is for male, in the office, you can hear japanese male calling them "kun" to imply that they are family
- its also use for little boys

your safest bet is "san"

"sama" is basically use for ,yeah lord or something like that

sensei is for teacher, doctors

if you dont know the person personally, always use "san"

[abuot]

samokan-san,cebu kara desu ka?"you from cebu?"
cebu no doko desu ka?"where in cebu?"

[boredtosanity]

Naa bya diay to Nihongo speech contest sa Conference Hall sa SM last Jan. 28.. I'm sure there'll be another one around the middle of this year, or next year pa tingali...

Abuot, ganbatte kudasai. Maybe you can join the next contest. Winners have the chance to compete in the National contest in Manila (Shangri-la ang venue this year, all expenses paid) and the winners in the National contest will win a kind of educational tour in Japan. All expenses paid na gihapon.

With your determination, I think I'll be hearing news of your victory hehe.. And it would be hitting two birds with one stone, right?
