    How to say other people's, and multiple people's names? I know how to introduce my own name in Korean but just noticed that I'm not certain on how to say "Person A's name is XX," or how to say multiple people's names in a single sentence. I have an idea, but don't know if it's correct. If I wanted to say, "That person's name is Jason," would it be "그 사람 이름은 제이슨이에요."? If I wanted to describe the actors in a movie and say, "There are two main actors actors, and their names are Chris Evans and Jane Smith," would it be "배우 2명 있어요. 그리고 이름은 크리스에반스하고 제인스미스여요."? If this is incorrect, what would be a better way to say it? Also, in the second example, for "two actors" would I need to use the "명" counter, or could I re-write it as "두 배우있어요."? 감사합니다!

    I think Su.Ki is right, 'affection' would probably be more appropriate here. As for the difference between the two, "love" tends to be used with feelings, whereas "affection" tends to be used with actions. This isn't always the case, but in general that's how you can think of it. "Affection" tends to be preceded by "show" as a result of this, e.g. "My cat showed me affection after I have it food."

    올빼미 vs. 부엉이? I was looking up the Korean word for 'owl' and noticed that there seems to be two words: '올빼미' and '부엉이'. Do they both mean the same thing, or is there any difference between the two? Is one used more often than the other? 감사합니다!

    Riahi is correct. The second one would be the right answer in this case. But, "chose" should be "choose" instead.

    Difference between Head and Hair in Korean? I was looking up vocab for body parts, and was a little confused. In one source, it said that the word for 'head' and 'hair' was the same ('머리'), but in a different source, it differentiated the two ('head' = 머리; 'hair' = 머리카락). Is 머리 used for both, or is it correct to distinguish the two? 감사합니다!

    A "short essay" would probably be the right word in this case.

    It'd probably be "to" in this instance.

    Words for Korean Family Members? I was looking up vocabulary for the Korean words for family members, and seem to be having some difficulty in distinguishing between certain terms. For example, for sister-in-law (younger brother's wife), there seems to be two terms: 제수 and 계수. Is one used more often, or is there any difference between the two? Additionally, I couldn't find the words for: * wife's younger/older sister (sister-in-law) * wife's older/younger brother (brother-in-law; I found 아주버니, but I'm not sure if it's the word for her older or younger brother) * younger/older sister's husband (brother-in-law) * adopted son/daughter Also, when I was looking for the word for 'wife,' I found '아내,' but I've read that this isn't used that often. Is this true? If so, what is a different word that I could use instead? And finally, what is the word for 'family member'? I'm pretty sure 'family' is '가족,' but what is the word for an individual family member? 감사합니다!

    It's probably "A," but either of them would sound fine.
