[Let’s learn Korean culture] Koreans use honorific expressions for elders

When you talk to older people in Korean, how do you speak?
In Korea, the culture that shows respect to older people developed a long time ago, and this kind of
culture shows up in the use of language, too. The use of honorifics symbolizes respect towards the
elderly. Let’s look at a few examples.
“Teacher, could you help me with this please?” (“선생님, 이것 좀 도와주세요.”)
“Grandpa, are you busy at the moment?” (“할아버지, 지금 바쁘세요?”)
“Grandma, have a good night.” (“할머니, 안녕히 주무세요.”)
If one uses honorifics correctly, this helps with your impressive rhetoric.
