When sending e-mail, the problem of "honorific address" to the recipient of the e-mail has caused an uproar on the Japanese network SNS a few days ago. There are various honorifics, such as "Yi", "Xiang No" and "Sen Cheng". Many people have raised such and such questions, saying, "These titles are often confused" and "Can't you call a teacher?" "Is it impolite to say' ~ ~ さん'? "Wait a minute.
? So, what details should be paid attention to when using honorifics when sending emails again?
Etiquette is not an absolute thing, so we can't give a correct answer that is universally applicable. In business, the way honorifics are written varies from company to company or organization.
The most common honorific is "Yi". "Cloud" also has the Chinese character "Cloud" used by elders, and people with different usages. Recently, more and more people write "さま" in hiragana, but as the receiver, "様" has stronger respect. Hiragana's "さま" will give a soft impression. Although some people like hiragana, from the point of etiquette, the fewer elders, the better.
At first glance, "Dian" is considered as a respectful title for elders, but it is said that it was originally used for younger generations. Although it is now used in government agencies and other related fields, it is generally not used in commercial situations.
There are exceptions. Teachers, lawyers, doctors and other people engaged in "teaching work" generally write "Mr" instead of "Yi". On this occasion, there are not a few people who are sensitive to honorific words, so they need to be used with caution. "Respect each other as guests" is the major premise of etiquette. On the other hand, the party called "Sir" also thinks that we should not be arrogant.
Some students wrote "Yi" in the email. It seems that the teacher who received such a letter may feel unhappy, but the other person is a young man. At this time, teachers should teach students some manners of social people. E-mail, in particular, which only uses words to communicate, is sometimes more difficult to convey its true meaning and misunderstanding than oral communication. But no matter what position or occupation, it is very important to use considerate language and understand each other.
It is more polite to write each other's first name than just their last name. Many people will insert a signature at the end of the email, but I think the full name will be written in the signature. If a person's name is full name, changing the other person's name to full name can be said to be a courtesy to show respect.
Moreover, when sending an email for the first time, it will give people a more polite impression if you write down the company name, department and title of the other party. After the second communication, only the name is ok. Especially in the email sent to foreigners, if the other party is the object of many exchanges, only the name is easier to get close to, so sometimes it will be loved by everyone.
As mentioned above, the expression of etiquette is not fixed, and its types will change according to the different ways of acceptance of the other party. Because of this, no matter who reads it, there will be no negative writing. Paying attention to these writing methods can reduce the risk. E-mail has been widely used in simple and efficient communication. With the changes of the times, meticulous communication has gradually been widely used and become necessary. In business communication, it can be said that it is equivalent to writing, and it also needs "realism" in emails to enhance the feelings of both sides.
Some people may think that it will be more troublesome to care about honorifics and write full names, but it is most worthwhile to spend some time to accumulate something and leave a particularly deep impression on people. This is also the premise of good communication with each other. E-mail is also a tool that can make the relationship develop in a good direction.
