:D Nowadays 大人 just means adults. In ancient times, 大人 is how lower rank officers/soldiers call their superior officers or anyone who has higher social class than him, as in English "Sir".

I’m voting to close this question because the question is asking for something that can be easily found by a few searches on the Internet, which was obviously not done by OP

I am voting to close this question because the question is too general, ask more specifically and you will get good answers.

Give me some honorifics that you wanna know about. I can give you some daily life examples.

For example, the most simple honorific in Chinese is 您, which means you. You can use it to anyone to whom you want to show respect. Usually it's to strangers, somebody older than you or someone at higher position than you (in a professional environment).
