Betcha didn't know...Part 2

In Korea, when you address the older brother or sister in your family, you do not call them by name. If you are a girl you call your older brother "oppa" and your older sister "on-ny." If you are a boy you call your older brother "hyung" and your older sister "nuna." The older siblings call the younger siblings by their first name.

When a student addresses a teacher, they never call them by their name. Instead of calling them "Mr. Smith" the just say "Mr." or teacher. If you address a teacher by their name you are being disrespectful.
