It can be a bit confusing to have to remember each and every separate title for family members and who is ‘allowed’ to refer to that person by which title.
You always have to keep in mind that the Korean culture – and therefore the Korean language – is all based on hierarchy, so everyone must ‘know their place’ in society and act accordingly. It’s a general rule that everyone follows but it allows consistency and upholds respect where respect is expected…so it’s a good thing 🙂
Happy studying everyone!
