How to say "came" in Japanese

• いらした
  expressionRespectful (sonkeigo) way to say that a person such as a teacher or guest came, went, or was present; it elevates the person spoken of, so it does not fit one's own actions.
• おいでなすった
  expressionAlso a respectful (sonkeigo) form meaning that someone came, went, or was somewhere; it is less common and usually written in kana, so it is seldom the word learners reach for to say 'came'.

Both are respectful (sonkeigo) forms meaning that someone came, went, or was present; use either only when speaking deferentially about another person, and remember both are less common choices for plain 'came'.
