you.
-kun is normally used for boys your age or younger, however my friend's wife (who is younger
than him) always refers to him as Joe-kun.
-san should be used if you are referring to an older
person...or someone you want to show respect to and/or you don't know their age. (Just to be safe...if you
don't know...I would use "san"). <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div

Hm. Thanks for the help, guys.
But what is "same
age"?? Because I have some friends that are 20, 21, 26. I call my twenty-year-old friend
"...-kun" and he doesn't seem to be weirded out, so I guess that's alright?
Haha I
guess they don't expect much since I don't look particularly Japanese![[Image: tongue.gif]](http://www.halvsie.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif)
