Hello there.  I want to know when addressing a japanese person, how to use the words of 'kun' 'chan' and 'san'?

Answer

They are added to people's names. -san is like mr., ms. or mrs. -chan is used when you're casual with the person and it's better to use it on someone who's younger and is a girl, or a kid. It also sounds cute. Haha. -kun is used for boys, teens or kids.
