Would it be appropriate to address a university staff member (not a teacher) with -sama? What about an employee at a restaurant, library, or shop? Is it possible to be. . . TOO formal?
Hello! I have 2 questions: *1st* I learned that "日"s readings are "hi, bi, ka, nichi, jitsu" but in "日本, 日本語, 日本人, ect..." it's read "ni". Why? *2nd* Japanese write from top to bottom and sometimes from left to right like us. I thought when the write from top to bottom, it starts from the left row and starts going to right. But in a comic it started from the right row and went to the left! Do I know wrong?

on the other hands, do you always use -sama with the person outside of your group no matter how lowly they are? i.e. waiter-sama?
Thank you :)
