How they call their little sis in korea?

Question

if they call oppa (girl) or hyung (boy) for their brother ; noona (boy) or unni (girl) for their big sis...then how is the little sis called??

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure what your question is. If you're asking for the term "younger sister" then the others are correct, 여동생 (yeo-dongseng).



However, if you're asking what an older sibling would call their younger sibling, they would simply use their name. There is no special title given to a younger family member in the same generation

Answer 2

Older guys and girls will call there younger sister 여동생 Yo dong seng

Older guys and girls will call there younger brother 남동생 nam dong seng

Younger one is 동생 dong seng



여자 is women or girl, which is shortened in this form

남자 is man but shortened to 남 in this situation



Girls will call older men (even if they are not actually siblings) 오빠 "oppa", meaning older brother

Girls will call older girls (again even if not related) as 언니 "eoni" meaning older sister

Guys will call older men (even if not related) 형 "hyeong" meaning older brother

Guys will call older girls (again even if not related) 누나 "Nuna"



these are all forms of respect since it is rude to call somebody older by the name



guys and girls will call women a lot older (im talking a LOT older) 아주마 a ju ma which means aunti

Guys and girls will call older men 아쩌시 a do shi.

Answer 3

여동생 = younger sister

남동생 = younger brother

동생 = younger sibling
