Politeness in Korea: The Language of Age and Place

Politeness in Korea: The Language of Age and Place

韩国礼仪:年龄与空间的语言

  1. In Seoul cafés, younger people never sit before elders do—and they turn their heads slightly when receiving drinks.
  2. Korean verbs change form depending on who speaks to whom, making respect grammatically unavoidable.
  3. Even texting friends requires choosing between casual and formal endings, based on age difference or closeness.
  4. When giving or receiving objects, Koreans use both hands if the person is older or in a higher position.
  5. Bowing accompanies most greetings, but the depth also shifts depending on whether you’re at school, work, or a wedding.
  6. Students address teachers with ‘-seonsaengnim,’ a title that bundles knowledge, authority, and care into one word.
  7. Public transport announcements remind riders to offer seats—not just to elderly passengers but also to pregnant women and students carrying heavy bags.
  8. This system doesn’t enforce hierarchy so much as map relationships clearly, reducing ambiguity in daily interaction.
