Question about Japanese
I have a guy co-worker. Some members call him [Name] + chan. I want to call him with ~chan honorifics, but I am not sure if it will be right. How to know when to use the ~chan to a guy co-worker? Shall I decide to use it? Please help. Thank you.

You don’t use it for males. Normally it is used for girls, but boys. If you wanna call your co-worker name san, it would work.
