Question about Japanese
In Japanese I see that everyone has two names for example: のび のびた (from Doraemon).
* How is each part of the name called? Surname - Name?
* How does naming work in Japanese? Do they inherite the father's surname?

普通は名字(のび)で呼ばれることが多いけど、仲のいい人だと名前(のびた)で呼ばれる。
ネーミングはその人やものに親しみを持たせる効果がある。
日本では、父親の姓を継承することが多いが、婿養子に入るなどで母親の姓になることもあります。
