What is how to say you in korean?

In Korean, there are several ways to say "you," and the appropriate choice depends heavily on the level of politeness and the relationship you have with the person you are addressing. Here's a breakdown:

• Formal/Polite: When speaking to someone older than you, of higher status, or whom you don't know well, use the honorific titles with their name or the word ssi. The word "당신" (dangsin) is a formal word for "you", but should be used carefully because it can sound rude or aggressive if used improperly. The term is often used between married couples. It's also commonly found in lyrics or literature.

• Semi-Formal/Polite: Using someone's name with the honorific suffix "씨" (ssi) is a common and relatively polite way to refer to someone. For instance, if someone's name is Kim Min-ji, you would call her "Kim Min-ji-ssi."

• Informal:

  • Using someone's name directly: Among close friends of the same age or younger, you can simply use their name without any honorifics.
  • Dropping the subject pronoun entirely: In many Korean conversations, the subject pronoun "you" is often omitted when it's clear from context who you're talking to. This is the most common and natural way to speak in informal situations.
