onee-sama
a j-panese term made of these parts:
1. the ‘o-‘ prefix, indicating a respectful tone.
2. ‘nee’, meaning ‘sister’.
3. the ‘-sama’ suffix, an honorific denoting extreme respect as might be used when addressing n-ble figures or gods.
onee-sama is an unusual, overly formal way of referring to one’s sister. for most everyday purposes, the neutrally formal ‘onee-san’ or familiar ‘onee-chan’ would suffice: only those raised in highly formal settings would even contemplate using ‘onee-sama’ in a non-sarcastic way (as one might say in english ‘oh of course your highness’).
‘onee-sama’ is a term mostly popularised by manga and anime, specifically shoujo-ai (love between young girls) series set in high-cl-ss boarding schools (see strawberry panic for a textbook example). because of this -ssociation, ‘onee-sama’ is inextricably tied to the more elegant side of the shoujo-ai genre: a young girl using the term to address an older, unrelated girl could be hinting at a deeper relationship between the two of them. or they could just be messing with you.
irl (sort of): “onee-sama, i hope you aren’t labouring under the misapprehension that your seniority over me justifies you putting on airs.”
shoujo-ai fantasy: “onee-sama, would you please become my soeur?”
