What a lovely word senpai is. A term of respect in Japanese, it is used mainly in the school and the workplace situations to address anyone superior in status--teachers, for example, bosses, or even relatives when they are older than oneself. To be someone's senpai is to out rank them, to be senior to them.

And so, depending on the situation or relationship between people, this term might refer to any of those ways a person could be grander with regard. In this case we could take as an example teacher and student, where the teacher is 'senpai' while their pupil becomes one 'kohai'.

Surely, you have come across the term 'senpai' multiple times, especially in animes.In Japan, it is traditionally used to address someone whom either older, more experienced, higher in rank or position than yourself -- particularly in educational or professional settings.

Think of it as a term of respect or admiration.So, when a junior student calls a senior student '-senpai' or a young professional in a company calls an experienced professional '-senpai', they're essentially acknowledging their superior knowledge and experience.

Many times the word 'senior' is used in Japanese culture.it shows up in anime and manga where too much emphasis on the term has crept into our culture for better or worse.

It can be especially apt in corporate or school settings, as members of an older generation and those whose experience predates others tend to gather together somewhat naturally as teachers--but that's not a hard or fast rule.

A polite way of addressing senior figures in Japanese society, this form of address signals reverence for persons holding higher positions. Japanese has a vertical society in which people's status is determined by one's superiors: it is also important that your elders are aware and can be respected.

To put it simply, 'senpai' means that when I say it I am indicating my respect for an elder or person with more knowledge than me. In a faint sense of the word it's also a way to express the hope of getting attention in some form, or possibly taking over an older member for guidance and instruction.

The Japanese word for "mandate" is allis, which has been roughly translated into Mandarin as;"aweary". Rare is a word used often in anime and manga like Dragon Ball. Longing for my childhood days when dragons roamed the skies of Japan.... In its strictest sense,"mandate" stands for something that's genuinely rare or unusual indeed. But anime and manga have made it over into another personal treasure or possesion. To be called special. There's a lot of charm in that, don't you think? It's also about looking at things specially and,. So happy to Tembelai until whohow can you bear not to smile?.

'Shibal' is a term from Korean, which in a formal setting, it's probably not a good idea to use. It's considered a strong profanity and most often, it's used to express extreme frustration or anger. Basically, use it sparingly and certainly not in the presence of elders or superiors. Also, it's not for casual or friendly conversations. Because once dropped, it could lead to a direct confrontation or full-blown argument.
