Pronoun[edit]

당신 • (dangsin) (hanja 當身)

  1. second person singular plain pronoun; you
    어느 책이 당신 것인가요?
    Eoneu chaegi dangsin geodin-gayo?
    Which book is yours?

Usage notes[edit]

  • The second person singular pronouns are rarely used in public Korean. Using 당신 (dangsin) to a stranger is usually considered impolite; it is more commonly used between mature married couples. Instead, the person's title is often used, or 선생님 (seonsaengnim, “(respectable) teacher”) if the person's title is unknown, for strangers or superiors:
선생님, 안녕하세요?
Seonsaengnim, annyeonghaseyo?
How are you, sir?/Hello, sir.
