this can be romanized or in korean i don't mind
but what do they call each other?
like in america we say honey, babe, boo, etc etc
what do girls say to their guy and what do guys say to their girls?What do korean couples say to each other?
Come on guys, Ben's answer IS funny. Try to see the humor!
Things that Korean lovers call each other:
여보 / yeobo ---- this is really folksy and not particularly cool, said my ex-girlfriend from northeastern Seoul
달링 / dalling ---- ';darling,'; used by both genders
허니 / heoni ---- ';honey,'; used by both genders
자기야 / jagiya ---- a form of address that's used frequently
오빠 / obba ---- used by women towards older males, often their boyfriends
young 오빠 / young obba ---- used by older women to younger lovers (in a joking fashion, literally means ';young older brother';)
임 ---- used in ancient Korean by women towards their husbands, like in the ancient Korean poem about the woman who is afraid that her ';임'; has fallen into the river and died; not used in modern speech that I'm aware of, except maybe in a joke (though chances are no one would understand what you were joking about)
Other expressions of love:
쪽 ---- kiss sound
츄 ---- kiss sound
알러뷰 ---- phonetic transcription in hangeul of ';I love you.';What do korean couples say to each other?
Ben's answer sucks. nobody calls like that. eww
If you translate such things like honey,baby,boo to Korean, These are extremely cheesy.
';Jakiya'; is common but Koreans don't usually make special words.
They just call their names, or girl says to boyfriend if he's older ';Oppa';
i don't know any non-married korean speaking couples that use anything other than Oppa 오빠 for girls to older guys, or just flat out calling each other by name or just 야! (or add the 임마!) or if they don't mind being a little 닭살 (cutesy/cheesy), 자기야~
';Yobo'; is used for couples that have been married longer. It means honey or sweetie. ';Chagiya'; is also used for younger couples and means the same thing. ';Sa-rang-hae yo'; is I love you. Hope that helps!
after they marry they call each other
';yuh bo'; or ';ja gi yah';
but when they are dating the girl call the guy
';oppa'; and the guy just calls the girl by name...
pickle, mayonaise, spoon, or drycleaning...its weird i know, but its another culture. trust me on this.
