Okies! And I may have some of the spellings wrong but I only know how to speak it. Not spell it, unless you guys want to read Kanji. XD

Ohayo - Good morning
Sayonara - Bye or Goodbye

-kun follows mostly after boy names. Girls usually address boys with the -kun. It can be just out of friendship or if you have like a crush on the guy.
-senpai means like your superior.
-chan means that the person is younger than yourself. And it's mostly used with girls names. The same way that -kun is, basically, except guys mostly use it.
