Why Do Koreans Care So Much About Age?

  Why Do Koreans Care So Much About Age? ์™œ ํ•œ๊ตญ์ธ๋“ค์€ ๋‚˜์ด๋ฅผ ๊ทธ๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ์ค‘์š”ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์—ฌ๊ธธ๊นŒ? In Korean culture, age is not just a number. It functions as a key reference point for choosing language, defining social roles, and managing psychological distance. Knowing someone’s age helps Koreans decide how to speak, how to behave, and how close they are allowed to be. ํ•œ๊ตญ ๋ฌธํ™”์—์„œ ๋‚˜์ด๋Š” ๋‹จ์ˆœํ•œ ์ˆซ์ž๊ฐ€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‚˜์ด๋Š” ์–ธ์–ด ์„ ํƒ , ์‚ฌํšŒ์  ์—ญํ•  , ์‹ฌ๋ฆฌ์  ๊ฑฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ฅผ ๊ฒฐ์ •ํ•˜๋Š” ํ•ต์‹ฌ ๊ธฐ์ค€์ด์—์š”. 1. Age as a Social Coordinate, Not Personal Information When Koreans ask about age early in a conversation, it is not driven by personal curiosity. They are trying to identify the correct social and linguistic framework before continuing the interaction. ํ•œ๊ตญ์—์„œ ์ฒ˜์Œ ๋งŒ๋‚ฌ์„ ๋•Œ ๋‚˜์ด๋ฅผ ๋ฌป๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ์‚ฌ์ ์ธ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ๋Œ€ํ™”์˜ ๊ธฐ์ค€์ ์„ ์„ค์ •ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ณผ์ • ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

What does '-๋Š๋ผ๊ณ ' mean?

Image
  Grammar Point: -๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  1) Core Meaning (ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์˜๋ฏธ) “-๋Š๋ผ๊ณ ” expresses that the action in the first clause is the reason or cause for the negative or undesirable result in the second clause. It roughly means: ๐Ÿ‘‰ “because I was doing ~, (something bad happened)” ๐Ÿ‘‰ indicates an ongoing action that prevented another action. ์˜ˆ๋ฌธ ์•„์นจ์— ๊ธ‰ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋‚˜์˜ค๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  ํœด๋Œ€ํฐ์„ ์ง‘์— ๋†“๊ณ  ์™”์–ด. ์„ค๊ฑฐ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  ์ „ํ™” ์˜จ ์ค„ ๋ชฐ๋ž์–ด. 2) Same Subject Required (์ฃผ์–ด ๋™์ผํ•ด์•ผ ํ•จ) Both clauses must share the same subject . The second clause usually omits the subject because it's clear. ์˜ˆ๋ฌธ (O) ์•„์นจ์„ ๋จน๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  ๋Šฆ์—ˆ์–ด. ์˜ˆ๋ฌธ (X) ์•„์นจ์„ ๋จน๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  ์—„๋งˆ๊ฐ€ ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋ƒˆ์–ด. → ์ฃผ์–ด ๋‹ค๋ฆ„ 3) No Past (-์—ˆ-) or Future (-๊ฒ -) Tense in the -๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  Clause The verb before -๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  must describe an ongoing action . So you cannot add past or future markers. ์˜ˆ๋ฌธ (O) ์ด์‚ฌ ์ค€๋น„ํ•˜๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  ์ •์‹ ์ด ์—†์–ด์š”. ์˜ˆ๋ฌธ (X) ์ด์‚ฌ ์ค€๋น„ํ–ˆ๋Š๋ผ๊ณ … ์ด์‚ฌ ์ค€๋น„ํ•˜๊ฒ ๋Š๋ผ๊ณ … 4) Used with Durative Actions (์ง€์† ๋™์‚ฌ์™€ ์‚ฌ์šฉ) -๋Š๋ผ๊ณ  works with actions that take time . It sounds unnatural with instantaneous actions or verbs showing a completed re...

How Do Koreans Address Elders?

  How Do Koreans Address Elders? ํ•œ๊ตญ์ธ์€ ์–ด๋ฅธ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ถ€๋ฅผ๊นŒ? In Korea, you don’t call elders by their first name. You call them by relationship, title, or social role. This is not optional politeness — it’s a cultural rule. Respect is shown through language structure itself . 1. Why Is Addressing Elders So Important in Korea? Korean culture developed under strong Confucian hierarchy. Age determines social position in many interactions. Even a one-year age gap can change how people speak to each other. So the question is not “What is their name?” Instead, it is “What is my relationship to them?” 2. How Koreans Address Elders in the Family Within families, the relationship itself becomes the name. ํ• ๋จธ๋‹ˆ (Grandmother)   → First names are never used. ํ• ์•„๋ฒ„์ง€ (Grandfather)   → Standard respectful term. ํ˜• / ๋ˆ„๋‚˜ (Older sibling for males)   → Must be used if the sibling is older. ์˜ค๋น  / ์–ธ๋‹ˆ (Older sibling for females)   → Shows both closeness and hierarchy. Korean siblings rarely call ea...
