How big of a deal is for a Japanese authority figure to ask your to call them a “nick name”
Hello everyone, I’m currently a physics student and I have great chances of working under the wing of a Japanese nuclear engineer, for context he has a Phd as such I addressed him as such, my first language is Spanish so I tried my best to morf Spanish honorifics into English to show more respect.
But I ended up making an impression so good that he asked me to address him as momo, short for momozaki, is this as big of a deal as I’m thinking of it?
