Hello JK Korean learners! 👋
What does “몇 살이에요?” really mean? 👀🤔
You might think it simply means, “How old are you?”
But in Korea, it can mean more than that. 🇰🇷
For Koreans, asking someone’s age can be a relatively natural part of getting to know them. Why? 🤔
Because age can help determine:
🗣️ How we speak to each other
👤 What we call each other
But… same age = instant banmal? 👀
Not always! ❌
Swipe through to find out why Koreans might ask your age first! 🇰🇷👀
And now we want to hear from YOU! 🌎
