How would one address family members politely?
Let us say members of the Sakamoto family are in the room: Tomoki (Grandfather), Myoko (Grandmother), Hiromi (daughter), and Yuri (granddaughter). Let us say that I wish to greet each one in turn. I am confused about the family name - first name - honorific arrangement.
Would I say "Konnichiwa Sakamoto Tomoki-san. Konnichiwa Sakamoto Myoko-san. Konnichiwa Sakamoto Hiromi-san ..." Like that? Addressing each in turn with full name in order of seniority?
