-san: The Japanese equivalent of Mr., Miss, Ms., or Mrs. It can be used when politeness is required.

-sama: Used to confer great respect, especially for royalty.

-dono: This suffix came from "tono," which is Japanese for "lord." It's an even higher level than "-sama," and confers a lot of respect.

-kun: Used at the end of boys' names. Also used to address someone younger than the speaker.

-chan: Used to express endearment, and is usually used toward girls. Also used for pets, little boys, and among lovers.

Bozu: Informal way to refer a boy, similar to "kid" or"squirt."

-Sensei: Means "teacher" or "one who has come before." Used for teachers, doctors, and masters of any type of art.

Got this from MANY mangas, and I kinda memorized them... ^^;
