1) Haeyoche(해요체)
해요체 is an informal, but polite speech. Regardless of the social rank and age of the addressee, it can show respect or politeness.

This is the most common speech style, used in everyday situations, so if we are not sure which speech level to use, it is usually the best choice.

It is commonly used between strangers, between colleagues, and when the addressee is a superior, such as children speaking to their parents, students to teachers.

Almost every sentence ends with –요. Only imperative form ends with –세요.

Declarative form: stem + –요

공부하다 + –요 = 저 지금 공부해요. I am studying now.

Interrogative form: stem + –요?

공부하다 + –요? = 지금 공부해요? Are you studying now? Open / Comment

Haerache (해라체), also known as “plain form”, is formal speech and it is one of the most commonly used forms.

It is used with those who are of the same or lower rank with no added degree of respect. But it is not considered disrespectful to use this form in the proper situation. For example, in a conversation between close friends or between adults and children.

We can often see this form in the dictionary, textbooks, newspapers, and indirect quotations like “he said that…”

When it used in spoken language, it is to casually describe the present state such as “나 간다 now I am going” and to show exclamations like “아, 슬프다 Ah, it’s sad.”

2021-06-13 11:34:20 3) Haoche (하오체)


Haoche(하오체) is used to address people that are in a lower or the same social position. It still maintains a moderate degree of respect. It should not be used when speaking to those ranked above us. Unlike Hapsyo-che (하십시오체), it does not lower the speaker to show humility.

In modern times, it is spoken only among some people of older generations and not used much in real life. You can find this style almost only in historical dramas.

Due to the popularity of historical dramas, young ones sometimes use it online for a humorous effect.

Declarative form: stem + –소/-오

있다 + –오 = 여기 책이 있소. Here is a book.

Hapsyo-che (하십시오체) is a very respectful, polite form of formal speech.

It is commonly used in public speeches, broadcasts, business, and the service industry to speak to customers. It is used to speak to strangers, elders, anyone higher in social rank. It can also be used to speak to people of lower rank when you want to show them respect. The books are written in this form along with Haerache(해라체).

Declarative form: stem + –ㅂ니다

읽다 + –습니다 = 저는 매일 책을 읽습니다. I read books every day.

Interrogative form: stem + –ㅂ니까?

2021-06-07 09:30:54 Addressee honorification is to signal formality or closeness between the speaker and the listener. It is reflected in the choice of suffix as a sentence ending. The sentence endings differentiate sentences into different speech levels. People divide Korean speech levels differently, between three to seven levels. We will consider 7 levels from the wider viewpoint. Open / Comment

2021-06-07 09:30:48 When the object is to be honored by the speaker, certain words will be replaced by honorific ones. For example, “많은 관심 감사드립니다”, which means “Thank you for all your caring”. Here, “드리다” in “드립니다” is an honorific form of “주다 (to give)” for honoring the object “you” in the sentence. Open / Comment
