Did you know?
- Unlike English names which stand alone, in Japanese conversation, 'Percy' would almost always be accompanied by a title or suffix to avoid sounding blunt or rude.
- In a very formal setting, such as a business meeting, a person might refer to 'Percy' as パーシー様, using the much higher honorific 'sama'.
- Because 'percy' is written in katakana, it is categorized as 'gairaigo', or 'loanword' Japanese, marking it as something originating from outside the country.
