Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Kyejin: Do you know the difference between 이 사람(i saram) and 이 분(i bun)? We learned that 이 사람(i saram) means "this person." 분(bun) is the honorific word for 사람(saram). So if you see someone who looks quite a bit older than you, you can ask "이 분 누구예요?"(i bun nuguyeyo?) to show respect.

Outro

Becky: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!
