shopkeepers are address<strong>ed</strong> as 아줌마. Younger female shopkeepers<br />

are sometimes call<strong>ed</strong> 언니 by females, which literally means older<br />

sister. However, they are hardly ever call<strong>ed</strong> 누나 by males, which<br />

also means older sister but to a male. Males will simply call out<br />

"yeogiyo" (literally Over here!) if they ne<strong>ed</strong> to catch a young<br />

female staff member’s attention.<br />

Note 2: When ordering something in a shop in English, we often use a<br />

phrase like ‘Can I have this please’. But in Korean you use ‘...<br />

주세요’, which literally means ‘Please give me ...’
