King and Queen

[Emoni]

Ok, just a silly question. I've checked the dictionary and a few references but I'm not 100% sure on use.

(having to use romaji because IME is being bad...)

Oou = King

Ojyoou = Queen

So for King Jim; Jimu Oou
For Queen Sam; Samu Ojyoou

Is this correct? Thanks to those who reply

"King" is ou. "Queen" seems to be either ouhi or joou. (王妃, 女王)

Yes and no. You don't prepend the honorific "O" in this case... actually in a lot of cases when you're addressing someone by title. I can't think of any now, perhaps b/c you prepend the name. Anyways, use the "-sama" suffix in this case.

Ou-sama, and Jouou-sama (two of the hardest words to romanize IMHO due to all the o's and u's).
