2021-06-07 09:30:42 What Speech Elements Are Affected by Speech Levels?
As already mentioned, the Korean honorification has three kinds.

To honor the subject in the sentence, you have to consider if you should add the honorific verb suffix “-(으)시” in the verb or adjective, the honorific particles like “-께서” and some honorific words. In “아버지께서 운전을 하신다”, the subject “아버지 father”, the honorific word of “아빠”, is honored with “-께서” and “-시-” in the verb Open / Comment

2021-06-07 09:30:32 Comparison with English or European Languages
The honorific is one of the most difficult parts in Korean to foreigners because there are not many things like this in English or other European languages.

In English, there are not many changes according to situations like age or social rank difference and publicity of the situation. But in Korean, the language changes a lot because of those situations. Open / Comment

2021-06-05 06:47:15 There are three factors for Korean honorific speech:

subject honorification (주체 높임법)
object exaltation (객체 높임법)
addressee honorification (상대 높임법)
Subject honorification is to honor the subject of the sentence and object exaltation is to respect the object. Addressee honorification is used when honoring the audience. Open / Comment

2021-06-04 17:56:31 Korean Speech Levels vs Honoficity


Honorificity is not only for the listener but also for the parties mentioned in the conversation. For example, when you say to your mom, “엄마, 할아버지 지금 주무세요”, which means “mom, my grandfather is sleeping now”. Because the listener is the speaker’s mom, you use the polite final verb ending -요, and also because your grandfather is mentioned, you use ‘주무시다’, the honorific form of ‘자다 (to sleep)’.

2021-06-04 17:56:14 Korean Speech Levels vs Politeness

Politeness is related to the relations between the speaker and the listener. Impolite could also mean as familiar or intimate. You speak with the polite form if the listener is older or in higher social status than you, and impolite one if the listener is younger or with a similar social status. For example, you would speak to a senior citizen in a store in a polite but informal style (해요체), but to your siblings in 해체 (impolite and informal style). Open / Comment

2021-06-03 07:35:41 Korean Speech Levels vs Formality


Formality does not consider the relations between the speaker and the listener, but rather, the situation they are in. For example, a TV announcer usually speaks during news recording with a formal polite style (하십시오체), but then after recording when talking to a coworker about daily stuff, he would speak in an informal impolite style (해체).

2021-06-03 07:35:23 What Are the Consequences If a Foreigner Doesn’t use Honorifics Properly?
If someone, whether he is a Korean or a foreigner, does not use honorifics properly, whether a Korean or a foreigner, it is easy to offend the listeners. Of course, people understand that it is hard for foreigners to use honorifics rightly, so in most cases, they just laugh it over. But in some cases, for example, if a foreigner says “안녕 (annyeong)”, the most casual version “hello” in Korean, to a university president, the listener could feel embarrassed or even offended.
