Politeness levels

A close friend your age

해체(반말)

Close friends born in the same year talk in banmal, the casual style. Using haeyo with a close friend would feel distant, almost like you're upset.

Common mistakeSwitching to haeyo when you're annoyed. Friends hear the sudden politeness as a cold shoulder.

  • 내일 뭐 해?

    naeil mwo hae?
