Watch out
君 (きみ) is casual and mostly a man's word: fine from Jason to a friend in a subtitle, odd from a learner to a teacher. As a suffix it reads くん (山田君) and marks boys, juniors and colleagues. Spanish tú and French tu cover every situation; Japanese usually drops the pronoun or says the name + さん instead. Heard in The Good Place: 優しくしてくれるのは君だけだ.
