「This is..(Honorific)」
If some nouns in Japanese are to be spoken noble, they usually add “お” or “ご” in front of them. Such as “お箸”, “ご飯” and so on.
There are also some verbs that can be nominalized. When the first and second types of verbs need to be nominalized, just remove “ます” from the “ます type” of the verb. The stem of the third type of verb is a noun.
