Honorific\u00a0titles can help you figure out the nature of your relationship with other people.<\/p>\n
For example, shi (\uc528<\/strong>) can be translated as Mr.\/Miss\/Mrs. When you use this title, you are showing a level of respect. Shi (\uc528<\/strong>) is attached at the end of the name. We’ll use Minji (\ubbfc\uc9c0<\/strong>) as the first name. Minji shi (\ubbfc\uc9c0<\/strong> \uc528<\/strong>), means Miss\/Mrs. Minji. (Minji is a typical name for a girl). Using shi (\uc528<\/strong>) also indicates a level of formality. This would be used towards strangers, but not friends.<\/p>\n Nim (\ub2d8<\/strong>) is also a title of respect. Nim (\ub2d8<\/strong>) is usually attached to professions. The difference between nim (\ub2d8<\/strong>) and shi (\uc528<\/strong>) is that shi (\uc528<\/strong>) is used after actual names, while nim (\ub2d8<\/strong>) is used after an occupation. The word for teacher (\uc120\uc0dd\ub2d8<\/strong>) is a word that often has the nim (\ub2d8<\/strong>) attached. It’s not only the professions that attach nim (\ub2d8<\/strong>). The word for god (\ud558\ub098\ub2d8<\/strong>) also contains this honorific title, so do family members like\u00a0grandmother (\ud560\uba38\ub2d8<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Sunbe (\uc120\ubc30<\/strong>) is used to address someone who is either older than you or someone who has more experience in the same occupation as you. You’ll often hear the title sunbe (\uc120\ubc30<\/strong>) in schools and at work. Sunbe (\uc120\ubc30<\/strong>) is gender neutral, meaning you can use this towards women and men. There are rare situations where a sunbe (\uc120\ubc30<\/strong>) can be younger than his collegue and yet have more experience in the workplace. In this case, it’s still okay to use the title sunbe (\uc120\ubc30<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Ok, time to go.\u00a0Najungeh ba (\ub098\uc911\uc5d0 \ubd10<\/strong>) or see you later!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Honorific\u00a0titles can help you figure out the nature of your relationship with other people.
