'Kun' and 'Chan' 10 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 37
I don't know if this question has been addressed before but I was hoping someone would clarify this for me.

I am reading a manga right now and they are using the girls name with a 'kun' at the end instead of the normally used 'chan' and the guys suffix is being used as 'chan' So....is that right? to use/say?

Kun is rarely used for women but CAN be. it's not just for a male friend but for those of a junior status at work, though it's not common unless it is a male. Kun is a diminutive suffix, such as chan or bo, meaning you are of a lower 'rank' be it age or position or whatever
