Damn! This is proving somewhat unfruitful. Thank you, you have all been most helpful, but still I find little. Hmm. Atusiya, perhaps you could answer some of my questions better than just a website. If you would:
1. What do san, sama, chan, kun, niisan, and oniisan mean, respectively? When would one use each one? Also, are there other suffixes or honorifics like these that I should be aware of?

2. In Japanese, does one's family's name come before one's personal name? For instance, if someone's name in Japanese is Gamera Gameru, is Gamera the name of that person's family, and Gameru that person's own personal name?

3. What does "gozaimasu" mean, as in "Doumo arigatou gozaimasu."?

4. What does "hidoi desu" mean?

5. What does "ganbatte ne" mean?

6. What does "Doko icchatta kashira?" mean?

7. Is nijiag backwards some sort of insult or strong racial term? If so, you don't have to tell me what it means.

8. What does "Taihen desu!" mean?

Okay, thank you again... again.
