In Japanese, even among friends and family, we often switch from simple and casual way of saying things to more honorific expressions quite often. It’s hard to explain, but sometimes when we express certain things, we might want to say it in an honorific way than making it sound like too casual.<\/p>\n

With that said, here are some of the most basic and common honorific (polite) expressions that we use on a daily basis. These are perfect for texting, emailing, and quick conversations. Read on~<\/p>\n
