Okay, first lesson. Please explain the different suffixes used when addressing or talking about people. The ones I've heard: san, sama, chan, kun, niisan, oniisan... I think I've heard more. If you can, please tell me what these mean and fill in the missing ones (if there are any). Also, when do you use a person's last name and when do you use their first name? I've read some comics that are partially in Japanese, and it seems like the first and last names are used interchangeably. And, what does "gozaimasu" mean, as in "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu."? Oh, and what about "gomen"? Ok. I'll let you tackle those ones before I ask about any more. Thanks.
