I'd love to know basic korean language. I don't mean all the specifics or anything, but just basic words, honorifics, and such. All I know is Saranghae[I love you], and saying Hyung to someone who's older and respected. ^ ^' I'm really quite new to the language and culture.
But I love the music and dramas that Korea offers. I'd really appreciate
the help, if anyone does decide to help. ^ ^

well we have our resident korean teacher and translatior. Our vice-captain. But she doesnt seem to be online right now.

hyung is the equivalent of elder brother from the guys perspective. girls would call an older brother or an older brother figure Oppa.

Boys would call an older sister or older sister figure Nuna and girls would call them Unni.

So if I was older than you, you would have to call me jjokpalyuh oppa. A male would call me jjokpalyuh hyung.

I'm sure you'll learn lots more here~

Thank you sooooo much~! Yes I've heard oppa used ^ ^' I thought it was an endearing term. You just saved me a bit of embarrassment. I look forward to learning more. ^ ^
