Korea is a hierarchical society and their language reflects that. We can see this by observing the endings -요, -(으)시,-(ㅂ)니다, etc. You may also know there are honorific particles, such as 께서 . 

There are also honorific words you need to use (instead of what you may have originally learned) to up your formality game. The following words are used when speaking to parents, elders, your boss, or teachers. 

format: honorific/plain = definition

Noun

댁 / 집 = house

생신 / 생일 = birthday

성함 / 이름 = name

연세 / 나이 = age

Counter

분 / 명 = people

Verb

돌아가시다 / 돌아가다 = to pass away

드리다 / 주다 = to give

드시다 / 먹다 = to eat

주무시다 / 자다 = to sleep

don’t hesitate to send in questions!;

url change! ciellene -> studykairos

kairos means “the opportune moment” in ancient greek and “weather” in modern greek, fitting the studyblr’s theme. in a sense, i’ve always constantly reexamined my life for kairos, seeing what would’ve happened if i had done X. however, it’s unhealthy to reflect on missed opportunities and possibilities. kairos, in my opinion, is more of a philosophy than a mantra, stating that to take advantage of life, you have to seize every opportunity that you can get. hopefully, as this blog grows, i can embody the value of kairos in the greatest way possible.

primary info:

the old URL will still be up but with a redirect page to the current URL

the tag for original posts will be shifted from #cielleneposts to #kairoast

the tracked tag will now be #kairoscope but i’ll still reblog/queue posts from #ciellook from time to time
