Help me out |
Help me out, is the appropriate greeting for addressing Japanese 1. Mr. Ichiro 2. Mr. Suzuki 3. Ichiro-san 4. Mr. Suzuki-san 5. Something else. Is one more formal than the other?
先日会議で一緒になったTBと数通のメールのやりとりをした後、上記のようなメールが届いたので、下記のように返信した。
Dear TB,
Good question :-)
Mr. Ichiro, - Not common Mr. Suzuki, - Formal Mr. Suzuki-san, - Not so common (because "-san" means Mr. or Ms.) Ichiro-san, - Casual Suzuki-san, - very common in business scene Suzuki-sama, - very formal Ichiro-kun, - cacual & friendly Ichiro - American style & friendly Suzuki - very friendly but somewhat discourtesy
Please use Suzuki-san or Ichiro to call me.
