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!;
