In This lesson, 사장님 (the boss) is sick and leaving early, so he’s asking for a few favors. As he’s asking favors, he’ll be doing it in a very indirect, and as a result, a very polite way. And as Inseong and Soyeon will be talking to their boss, they’ll be using extremely polite language, and thus, using the honorific infix (시). After listening, don’t forget to stop by KoreanClass101.com and leave us a comment!
