1.
calling someone by name without an honorific
The practice of addressing someone by their name alone, without attaching an honorific suffix such as さん, くん, or ちゃん. This is considered casual or intimate, and can be rude when used with someone of higher status or someone you are not close to.
Common patterns
Typically used in the pattern 呼び捨てにする (to address without honorifics) or 呼び捨てで呼ぶ (to call by name alone).
Cultural note
In Japanese social norms, using someone's name without an honorific implies closeness or equal/lower status. Using 呼び捨て with a superior, elder, or stranger is considered disrespectful. Between close friends or within families, it signals intimacy.
