-san Edit Meaning

1.

Japanese equivalent of Mr/Mrs/Ms. Most often used with a person's surname, less commonly used with a person's given name. This is used for someone you do not know very well, like a classmate who isn't your friend and isn't in a higher grade, or a co-worker who isn't higher status than you.

Saitou-san wa Tookyoo ni imasu. (Mr/Mrs/Ms Saitou is in Tokyo.)

See san, -san, -chan, -sama
