Hello 하니,

Thanks for always working so hard! Let's take a look at what you wrote (just be mindful of the spacing):

몸이 아플 때는 회사 나 오면 안 돼요.

-->몸이 아플 때는 회사에 나오면 안 돼요.

Keep up the good work!

Best,

It seems the lesson notes pdf is working fine with this lesson.

안녕하세요. When I download it as PDF, it says it is corrupted. Yesterday I downloaded 20 PDF files and only 10 of them worked. Why is it like that? Thank you so much.

Hello Colin,

Thank you for your follow-up and you might like to read over on what I have mentioned as in "ANSWER".

Whoever higher ranks call you to do something, then you go by yes, sir.

The reason why we put on 네, 알겠습니다 is most general and we cannot hold all occasions into one pdf file.

Some translations you may find may not seem direct as Korean and English are different and our way of expression may not exactly have something equivalent in another language.

Also for the "CALL or REFER", that is when you get to speak up on it instead of "ANSWER" what they ask you to do.

So when you receive, you go by "yes, sir".

However, when you give, you go by EXACT title.

My grand father was a general, my father was a captain, and my brother served as a stranger.

I think you could trust on my comment but if you rather trust the comments from your friend or whoever to be, you are more than welcome to do! :)

Thank you

"In Korea, whoever is higher-ranked to you, you use ’sir’ to answer."

Okay, but the translation of "네. 알겠습니다" was "Yes, sir. I understand" or something to the likes of that. However, the Korean translation doesn't seem to have any equivalent of the word "Sir" in it. it just says "네".

"If you get to call someone or refer, then you have to go by exact title that they have!:)"

This confuses me a little because this directly contradicts the preceding statement. If you refer to or call for someone by their EXACT title, as you say, then wouldn't it be "corporal, sergeant, warrant, master warrant, chief warrant etc. or for officers, lieutenant, major, colonel, etc. (these officers in normal circumstances would be called sir/madam in any subsequent exchanges)?

It's confusing, because a corporal is unbecoming of the respect of a "sir", and it's the first I've heard of it despite those I know who've served in ROKA .

Hello Colin,

Thank you for your note and we appreciate your opinion.

This is what is slightly different from whatsoever force, army or navy that you country is having.

In Korea, whoever is higher-ranked to you, you use 'sir' to answer.

If you get to call someone or refer, then you have to go by exact title that they have!:)

Hope it answers your curiosity!;)

Thank you

Actually, in English, a Private would never call a corporal a "Sir/Madam", as it is translated in the PDF notes. Only commissioned officers would be called "Sir/Madam". The only non-commissioned, regular ranked members that are called "Sir" or "Madam" are warrant officers and above. A private would simply called a corporal "corporal" and a sergeant "sergeant". I'm pretty sure this would be the same in Korean as well, and a private would be scolded by superiors for improperly address other NCMs as sirs and madams.
