@@tonythesopranos5310 I love how often pronouns to start off as polite and end up casual or even offensive along the way There are so many examples of this, from the Japanese 君, お前, 貴様 to the English "you", to the Spanish "ustedes" (which, if I'm not mistaken, while is still formal in Spain it isn't anymore in Latin America)
お前、お前様 (omae(sama)) is also an archaic repectful term whereas in modern Japanese it's very rude. It's also funny how 貴様 evolved into being considered rude but 貴社 is still a polite way to refer to someone's company.
Nice video bro, as a noob Japanese language learner I really appreciate these in depth explanations into the linguistics and the accompanying artwork and history is a nice touch. Arigatōgozaimasu!
You don't address a doctor as -san. You call them sensei, just like professors or master artisans. The images you procured are beautiful & hilarious.
贵dude様, love this new series!
I like how 貴様(kisama) uses the same ki and sama doesn't even need introduction but, nowadays it basically means "I'm gonna beat you up"
@@tedkz6155 it's ironic how both of the characters for it are honorifics lol

I wonder if any linguist studied this phenomenon already
