what do all the titles like
chan
san
sama

and other ones translate to english too. could someone plz list them out for me

As far as I know, japanese honorifics usually aren't translated. They do have a meaning, but aren't translated since they have no english equivalents.

i need an answer from someone that actualy speaks japanese

San - is a rough equivalent of "Mr" or "Mrs"
Sama - is the same as above, only much more respectful
chan - is a suffix used for young females that you know well
kun - is a suffix used for young males that you're somewhat familiar with

Unless you know what you're doing, I would stick with San/Sama suffixes, or you might end up being insulting. Most Japanese people I've spoken to, do not look too kindly on foreigners using incorrect honorifics, even if they don't show it openly.

chan - is a suffix used for young females that you know well PLUS all the kids disregarding the sex [usually from female perspective].

kun - is a suffix used for young males that you're somewhat familiar with PLUS doesn't have to be young person. could be classmates/colleague/etc

use "san" if you have no idea who that person is.
do not use "Sama" to your boss, except if he is ur master/king/owner or if you are slave.
Usually, high authority person can use "kun" to female secretary or female workers.
