Here is the Seven Speech Levels of Politeness with Honorific and without Honorific (7 X 2 =14) Speech Level Non-Honorific Present Indicative of "hada" Honorific Present Indicative of "hada" Level of Formality When Used Hasoseoche(하소서체) hanaida(하나이다) hasinaida(하시나이다) Extremely formal and polite Traditionally used when addressing a king, queen, or high official; now used only in historical dramas and the Bible Hapsyoche(합쇼체) hamnida(합니다) hasimnida(하십니다) Formal and polite Used commonly between strangers, among male co-workers, by TV announcers, and to customers. Haoche(하오체) hao(하오) hasyo(하쇼), hasio(하시오) Formal, of neutral politeness Spoken form used nowadays only among some older people. Young people sometimes use it as an Internet dialect after it was popularized by historical dramas. Hageche(하게체) hane(하네) hasine(하시네) Formal, of neutral politeness Generally used only by some older people when addressing younger people, friends, or relatives. Haerache(해라체) handa(한다) hasinda(하신다) Formal, of neutral politeness or impolite Used to close friends, relatives of similar age, or younger people; also used almost universally in books, newspapers, and magazines; also used in reported speech ("She said that..."). Haeyoche(해요체) haeyo(해요) haseyo(하세요) (common), hasyeoyo(하셔요) (rare) Informal and polite Used mainly between strangers, especially those older or of equal age. Traditionally used more by women than men, though in Seoul many men prefer this form to the hapsyoche (see above). Haeche(해체) hae (해)(in speech), hayeo (하여)(in writing) hasyeo(하셔) Informal, of neutral politeness or impolite Used most often between close friends and relatives, and when addressing younger people. Rarely used between strangers unless the speaker wishes to start a confrontation, or the listener is a child. Hope this helps, DMeX give me a Shout !!!

There are seven speech levels in Korean, and each level has its own unique set of verb endings which are used to indicate the level of formality of a situation. Unlike "honorifics" – which are used to show respect towards a subject – speech levels are used to show respect towards a speaker's or writer's audience. The names of the seven levels are derived from the non-honorific imperative form of the verb hada (하다; "to do") in each level, plus the suffix che ((체, 體), which means "style". Of the seven listed levels below, the first five use final verb endings and are generally grouped together as "gyeoksikche" (격식체; formal speech level), while the last two levels, "haeyoche" (해요체) and "haeche" (해체) are called "bigyeoksikche" (비격식체; informal speech level) in Korean. In addition, the first six are called "jondaemal" (존댓말) and the last is called "banmal" (반말). These days, hasoseoche is used only in movies or dramas set in older eras and is barely used by modern Koreans, and hageche exists almost only in novels. However, haoche is becoming more popular among young people, especially among Internet users. In order not to offend strangers, I tended to use Hapsyoche and/or Haeyoche most often in different situations. Detailed examples in my next post. Hey DMEX you owe me big time, I want chocolate, gifts, dinner, movie and a giant panda bear but no money please :0 P hehehe. TonyRomeo

Irazna, this is my second time translating for you. You should buy me lunch - I am fond of sushii OK :0P hehehe !

It took me two or three days because Hangul was designed to be scientific and easy to learn. But that's just for the left brain to understand and remember. In order to be proficient and develop speed, you have to read a lot : Korean newspapers, magazines, internet articles, novels , graphic comics and anything Korean that you can get your hands on. With much practice , dictionary checking and so on, proficiency would come. Hope this helps, Give me a Shout ! :0 P Don't Worry and Be Happy

Either red wooden floor or red wood floor tiles. Hope this helps, Give me a Shout ! TonyRomeo :- )

You guys are putting too much emphasis on the word - Stranger -. Personally, I think you are missing the question by a big margin. My view of the question is to find the -Factors- that influence -the Aspects of your Identity. There are different aspects of your identity that you would only reveal in different contexts and situations. The motivating factors may be psychological, economical, contextual, situational, racial, sexual or traditional. Ex: I can be a successful entrepreneur in the office, a loving father of two kids at home, an authoritative judo coach during my leisure hours,an irresponsible womanizer during the weekends. So, if the motivating factor is to look good for a bank loan, i would say that I am a successful businessman. If I want to look respectable, I would say that I am a widower raising two kids all by myself.If the motivating factor is sex, I would be a sharp dressing,charming, funny and easy-going bachelor that would only show the superficial side of myself .Finally, if I was being threatened on the street, I would most likely reveal the Judo coach side of my identity. Hope this helps, Give me a Shout ,;- ) Dont Worry and Be Happy TonyRomeo
