Words that are honorific cannot be used by yourself and their meanings are interpreted (if no other context is given) to be concerning the listener. and most of formal words is composed of \ud55c\uc790. For example, \ub530\ub2d8 would be translated as “your daughter” where \ub538 would just be “my daughter.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
