A Lot Of People Do Not Realize That Koreans Actually Use Two Different Number Systems! Each System Is

A lot of people do not realize that Koreans actually use two different number systems! Each system is used to account for different things like age and amount of items or dates and money. It can be hard to figure out which is which so I love the way this shows you what each is used for!

 - Family Tree

가족 나무 - Family Tree

In Korea, there are two sides of the family (much like western culture). Although, unlike western culture, they actually go by a different name. While you still call your mother’s sister your aunt - even without specifying that she’s on your mother’s side - there are completely different names / titles to use. 

가족 - family

어머니 / 엄마 - mother / mom (formal / casual)

아버지 / 아빠 - father / dad

할아버지 - grandpa

할머니 - grandma

부모 - parents

조부모 - grandparents

친척 - relatives

사촌 - cousin

형제 - brothers

자매 - sisters

형 - older brother (male)

오빠 - older brother (female)

누나 - older sister (male)

언니 - older sister (female)

동생 - younger sibling (여동생 - little sister, 남동생 - little brother)

고모 - father’s sister

이모 - mother’s sister 

you can say this when ordering at a restaurant. If the woman looks old enough to be your aunt, that is.

삼촌 - uncle

Other names and titles in Korean:

아저씨 - older man (can be used as uncle)

아줌마 - older woman

아가씨 - woman (not married)

총각 - man (not married)

-씨 - 희주씨 (used after a name)

선생님 (쌤) - teacher (slang)

-님 - 의사님 (used after an occupation)

선배 - older university student (used if you are in freshman / first-year uni)

여자친구 (여친) - girlfriend (slang)

남자친구 (남친) - boyfriend (slang)

여자사람친구 (여사친) - female friend (slang)

남자사람친구 (남사친) - male friend (slang)

There are…hundreds of honorific titles in Korean, and if I went through all of them this post wouldn’t be about family anymore and it would be unnecessarily long. When I finish the ‘Jobs in Korea (for foreigners)’ blog, I will add workplace honorifics. But for now, that’s all! I hope you enjoyed this lesson. 

Happy Learning :)
