2021-06-02 06:40:42 What Are the Consequences If a Korean Person Doesn’t Use Honorific Terms Properly?


If a Korean chooses the wrong honorific, it can result in humiliation, embarrassment or even offending the listeners.

Sometimes we can hear the news that two men fought each other seriously and its cause turned out that one man started to use an informal/impolite speech manner, which is called 반말 (banmal) in Korean, to the other man.

It is an extreme case, but it gives away how important it is to use appropriate speech levels and honorifics in Korean society.

2021-06-02 06:39:55 The Significance of Korean Speech Levels
Honorifics are very important in Korean and are something you will encounter in Korean literally every day. From when you call a stranger who dropped a purse or a worker in a restaurant to when you talk to your parents or boss, every daily situation is involved with honorifics.

The Confucianism-influenced Cultural Background
The reason for the importance of honorification in Korean is that it is required by the vertical hierarchy of Confucianism, where age and social status play a big part. An idiom 장유유서(長幼有序) is the one that shows the basis of Confucianism, which means there is a strict order that needs to be followed and obeyed between adults and children. Therefore, it is a huge deal in Korea to show proper respect to older people, which refers to physically older or of a higher social status. Open / Comment
