In the last post we looked over the honorific polite and the honorific polite in the past tense. In today’s post we’ll take a look at the honorific deferential and the honorific deferential in the past tense. With a \ud558\ub2e4 <\/strong>ending verb like \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\ub2e4 <\/strong>(to love), the honorific deferential would be \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> and \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong> in the interrogative form. To form the honorific deferential, drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> in \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. With a verb like \uac00\ub2e4<\/strong> (to go), the honorific deferential will be \uac00\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uac00\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. To form the honorific deferential, drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> in \uac00\ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The honorific deferential of \u3137<\/strong> ending verbs like \uac77\ub2e4<\/strong> (to walk) is \uac78\uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uac78\uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. The \u3137<\/strong> in \uac77\ub2e4 <\/strong>will change to a \u3139<\/strong> and \uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>\u00a0will be added. With \u3139<\/strong> ending verbs like \uc54c\ub2e4<\/strong> (to know), the honorific deferential will be \uc544\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc544\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. To form the honorific deferential, drop the \u3139<\/strong> of \uc54c\ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. For \u3142<\/strong> ending verbs like \ub3d5\ub2e4<\/strong> (to help) the honorific deferential will be \ub3c4\uc6b0\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\ub3c4\uc6b0\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. Drop the \u3142<\/strong> of \ub3d5\ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc6b0\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc6b0\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. With \uc788\ub2e4<\/strong> (to be present, to have) the honorific deferential will be \uc788\uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc788\uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. Drop the \ub2e4<\/strong> of \uc788\ub2e4<\/strong> and add \uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc73c\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now let’s try forming the honorific deferential in the past tense. \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\ub2e4<\/strong> will be \uc0ac\ub791\ud558\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc0ac\ub791\ud558\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. \uac00\ub2e4 <\/strong>will be \uac00\uc168\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uac00\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. \uac77\ub2e4<\/strong> will be \uac78\uc73c\uc168\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uac78\uc73c\uc168\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. \uc54c\ub2e4<\/strong> will be \uc544\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc544\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. \ub3d5\ub2e4 <\/strong>will be \ub3c4\uc6b0\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\ub3c4\uc6b0\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. \uc788\ub2e4<\/strong> will be \uc788\uc73c\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc788\uc73c\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. So if the honorific deferential of \uc774\ub2e4<\/strong> (to be) is (\uc774<\/strong>)\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/(\uc774<\/strong>)\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>, what is the honorific deferential in the past tense? It will be (\uc774<\/strong>)\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/(\uc774<\/strong>)\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>. If the honorific deferential of \uc544\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong> (to not be) is \uc544\ub2c8\uc2ed\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc544\ub2c8\uc2ed\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>, the honorific deferential in the past tense will be \uc544\ub2c8\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\ub2e4<\/strong>\/\uc544\ub2c8\uc3b4\uc2b5\ub2c8\uae4c<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Depending on the situation, the honorific deferential can seem overly polite to use in a conversation. Depending on your relationship with someone, the deferential polite may be the right politeness level needed to show respect for someone, but yet not in the overly polite manner of the honorific deferential. For example, if you’ve take a class with a\u00a0professor for a semester and the professor knows you on a first name basis,\u00a0it\u00a0could be a little\u00a0awkward using the honorific polite. Using the honorific polite can signal to someone that you want to create a distance in the relationship, especially one that is hierarchical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
