In this show I watch, this boy adds 'Dono' at the end of everone's name. @_@ I would really like to know what it means.

'Sawada-dono' Like that?

  1. Lord/Master (however it doesn't always imply noble status)

    Normally not used too often, it's used to show respect or in formal letters

    (Eg: Dear Mr. Toyushi Dono....)

    It's the equivalent of the French "Monsigneur"

    Or in Medieval times how Englishmen would say "Yes me lord!"


  2. Lord.

    However, it can be used towards socially inferior people as well.

    Lord Sawada. :)

  3. mushi mushi..is the only word i know..and I don't even know how to write it..!ahah (it means hello)

  4. My dictionary says:

    殿 【どの】 (pol) person, Mister (mostly in addressing someone on an envelope), Mr., (P)

    It might be an overly-polite affectation that the boy is using when speaking to adults.
