[edit] Prefix
御 (hiragana お, romaji o)
御 (hiragana ご, romaji go)
- Prefix indicating that the word is honorific. Often used to indicate that the word belongs or is related to the listener (as opposed to the speaker).
- Note: in many cases this prefix has been so completely absorbed into the word that it is inseparable from it, as in 御飯 (ごはん, gohan, rice) and doesn't really indicate anything.
[edit] Usage notes
This prefix is frequently written in hiragana. When the prefix is read as o- (as opposed to go-), it is almost exclusively written in hiragana.
This character is generally read as お- (o-) when it is prefixed to words considered to be of Japanese origin, as in 御水 (おみず, omizu, water), and ご- (go-) when it is prefixed to words considered to be of Chinese origin, as in 御主人 (ごしゅじん, goshujin, husband). There are numerous exceptions, however.
