Usage notes
Used as a term of address. Historically the form was considered a somewhat polite though friendly second-person pronoun. In contemporary usage, it is most often addressed to a close friend or other intimate. The suffix さん (-san) marks the term as more polite than various synonyms, but お前 (omae) may be considered impolite if addressed to individuals of different social status from the speaker.
