well i'm not to sure where to ask this question so i'll just post it up here. Would anyone have a list of all (or mostly all) the titles that the japanese use.\ (E.g. -kun, -san, -chan etc.) and with there meanings. I would really appreciate it

Arigato in advance

www.google.com or wikipedia will have the answer to that question. Alternatively, a lot of manga contain such explanations...

i've searched on both already before posting the question on these boards, and i havent found any clear awsner, that is why i have asked this on a forum. i dont like asking questions like these i personally prefer to do the research myself, but i cant find any information so i use this last option.

[Edit] Nevermind, looks like wiki just updated there section on japanese titles.

and you learn reading... if you say stuff to people like "learn searching" while you do not even know that person or anything around him or her, then you should just refrain from posting idiotic matter towards the person. if you are not the type not to help people, then dont bother the people who are trying to get help

Well, on my first google try I got a pretty good hit: http://www.jref.com/language/japanese_suffixes.shtml

Of course, you do have to know that things like -san are referred to as suffixes...
The whole thing about using google, or wiki, is that you need to know what questions to ask and how to ask them. Just getting the answer served to you on a silver plate wont help you to help yourself.
