  • honestly i’m not sure lol

    you’re right but that’s mostly in the context of students referring to their teachers, i had the impression it’s quite different from the way it gets used as a second person pronoun or as a way of showing respect to someone.

    Also, and genuinely curious here, what is used for “teacher” in a school setting? But if a teenager said their teacher sucks what word would they use?

    선생님 is the primary way of refering to teachers, but if one’s being rude they might as well say “선생” (without the “님”) or their name, nickname, etc…

    english isn’t my primary language so i’m not sure if my comment makes sense lol
