Humble and Plain Prononouns
•• if you don’t know the title of the elder, the generic title 선생님
can be used instead;
너 너는 네가 네 너를
Singular
[니가] [니] (널)
당신 당신은 당신이 당신의 당신을
당신 is used:
•• between spouses;
and a man may use 당신 to show his feelings and his desire to
be closer to a woman. This pronoun is also used in poetry while
addressing a lover;
The particle-들 marks that a noun is plural. But unlike in English, the plural form
is optional in Korean. There is almost no difference between the formulations:
사람이 많습니다.
There are a lot of people.
사람들이 많습니다.
