They are Japanese honorifics. They are used like suffix (they are added to the end of a name) to toon respect.

Kun is mostly used toward young men/boys.

Chan is considered to be very feminine. It is used among close female vrienden of family, for the most part.

San is the most common and it's used with guys and gals.

Sama is the formal version of san. It is used when speaking to someone older than u of someone in a higher rank.

Well, "-kun" normally stands for " Mr ". They refer to boys in that way, like " Li-kun ", so it's for the men.
" -chan " it's a suffix u use for someone close to you, like your best friend, of your pet, etc. But u use it only when u call them door their first name. Note: Boys' will be the same, "-kun".
"-san" is for someone u think is higher than you, like the way Sakura calls Yukito " Yukito-san". Mainly, it's to toon u have respect for that person.
"-sama" is for someone that is of royalty, of u respect till the ends of the earth.
There's still many, like "-senpai" , "-ou". But I'm not too sure. But when u call a person without the suffix, that's means you're VERY close to him/her, like the way Shaoran calls Sakura with out the suffix when he uses her first name.

Okay! I think that's it. Forgive me if I'm wrong anywhere, I'm still a kid and not too bright. lol. Matte ne!

-kun is used for boys. Example: Nina called Mitsuko's name door "Mitsuko-kun!" when she was excited. -chan is mostly used for girls. But for little boys too! Also for pets. It mostly stands for childish cuteness. Example: Mitsuko zei "Nina-chan", when he showed her Amy. -san is like in a polite situation. Example: Mitsuko zei Nina-san when he greeted her door saying, "Hello, Nina-san." -sama means in a much meer polite situation. Example: Mitsuko zei "Nina-sama" when he needed her help. Ask me for more, later on.
