They are Japanese honorifics. They are used like suffix (they are added to the end of a name) to 表示する respect.

Kun is mostly used toward young men/boys.

Chan is considered to be very feminine. It is used among close female フレンズ または family, for the most part.

San is the most common and it's used with guys and gals.

Sama is the formal version of san. It is used when speaking to someone older than あなた または someone in a higher rank.

Well, "-kun" normally stands for " Mr ". They refer to boys in that way, like " Li-kun ", so it's for the men.
" -chan " it's a suffix あなた use for someone close to you, like your best friend, または your pet, etc. But あなた use it only when あなた call them によって their first name. Note: Boys' will be the same, "-kun".
"-san" is for someone あなた think is higher than you, like the way Sakura calls Yukito " Yukito-san". Mainly, it's to 表示する あなた have respect for that person.
"-sama" is for someone that is of royalty, または あなた respect till the ends of the earth.
There's still many, like "-senpai" , "-ou". But I'm not too sure. But when あなた call a person without the suffix, that's means you're VERY close to him/her, like the way Shaoran calls Sakura with out the suffix when he uses her first name.

Okay! I think that's it. Forgive me if I'm wrong anywhere, I'm still a kid and not too bright. lol. Matte ne!

-kun is used for boys. Example: Nina called Mitsuko's name によって "Mitsuko-kun!" when she was excited. -chan is mostly used for girls. But for little boys too! Also for pets. It mostly stands for childish cuteness. Example: Mitsuko 発言しました "Nina-chan", when he showed her Amy. -san is like in a polite situation. Example: Mitsuko 発言しました Nina-san when he greeted her によって saying, "Hello, Nina-san." -sama means in a much もっと見る polite situation. Example: Mitsuko 発言しました "Nina-sama" when he needed her help. Ask me for more, later on.
