i cant say i dont like it....coz sometimes i used it.....xDD...but so far i only used unnie with my girl friends that i knew for a long time and she IS like an unnie to me....she also referred herself to me as 'unnie'...so..its not a big deal....xDD


and i once used 'dongsaeng' with my korean friend.....coz she's A LOT younger than me and she's calling me unnie too~~~...kekeke....

as if in typing...i have no problem with it....but when people are talking.....i get annoyed....xDD

sorry~~~...

even when my non-korean friends talking with me in korean...they knew i understand them....but i got really annoyed until i felt like punching them on their face.....xDD

p/s : thank god none of my friends are on soompi...xD

[ilovesunday]

I don't care what others call me lol

[TyneeTom]

You guys gotta stop drinkin that Hatorade.

[barbie.]

Girls tend to over use Oppa. Quite annoying. <3

[kimjae91]

Some of my friends that are girls call me 오빠. I teach English and they are like a year or two younger than me so they call me 선생님 or 형. I call my older cousins 형 or 누나 because it is a term of respect in Korea.

I do get annoyed when teenyboppers use it for their favorite singers. They dont use it in the right context half the time and it irriates me sometimes.

[onetwothuy]

It annoys me too, but I'm a little guilty of it.
It wasn't to the point where I called everyone Oppa/Unnie/Dongseng, though.


Now, I just call them by their names. Or HOMIEEEEE YO.

[heyitzthatfc]

I don't use it unless I'm in Korea, or speaking to somebody from Korea but I don't get mad when other people use it.. Not much you can do but they do sound like they're wannabe's which is a good thing sometimes heh.

[fabrications.]

Hahaha. I NEVER use it in real life. But I used to use it A LOT when I first started writing fanfics on soompi. I got tired of it myself, so I rarely use it anymore. *shrugs* I get your point though. It does get annoying.

[chopstick^^]

so is this natural thing for a korean girl to call a guy oppa? ...& would this be considered as flirting??

i know alot of fobs korean at my uni ... not have i heard 1 call any of them oppa! .. they call them by their name! .. so? if she start calling a korean guy oppa... would he think shes flirting?

[Lovin' you]

^ I odn't think it would be call flirting.

yes i find it really annoying.
i mean...i like it that you're into korean, but it's kind of annoying if u go tryin to act korean
ugh just call them by their name LOL
i dont even use oppa/unni much. and i'm full krn

[love]

i think it's cute. if i was korean i would so use it.

but i've seen in the korean celeb forums that people add unni or oppa to the celeb's names. i think that's a little weird since they don't even know them.

[영원한 사랑]

I think its really annoying when people try to act cute while using "oppa" or "unni"
like some girls act sooo cute and annoying and it makes me go crazy

[meeyu]

yah i kinda annoys me a bit

[RHAINE]

i dont use any of those terms but my friend uses it and she calls me unnie xD
the like really into korea hekk she even speaks hangul (self-taught) but i guess im fine with it.
if a huge mob called me unnie/nuna, then id prolly be annoyed LOL.

[HeartOnHerSleeve]

I think it's pretty annoying when ANYONE overuses those words, especially nonKoreans.

[discofuse]

What if you're calling a Korean person OPPA/UNNIE/HYUN/NUNA?
Though you aren't Korean but you call a Korean
like that is that bad or annoying? .
I mean you're just showing respect on their culture.
Haha whatever, but I don't call anyone OPPA
except "hot" Korean artists BAHAHAHA.
I ain't using the others lool. it sounds ......

Here in the philippines,
we call older guys/our brothers KUYA,
while girls ATE. haha .

[inconnu!*]

No, I understand you... I think its really really fake. I only call other people by Korean terms
if like I am SUPER SUPER close with them because I know it wont annoy them.

[tatsuri]

I'm not Korean. I'm not even asian but I do get annoyed when people over use those terms.
The people I hear say them don't really know the meaning.
I see if they were speaking in Korean when they used the term, but they are speaking in English and throw in random bits of Korean. I only say Oppa when I'm referring to my favorite korean star. My best friend is half korean and he doesn't like when people besides his gf or sister call him oppa.

I hate that whole "Kawaii" and "Konnichiwa" thing. I study Japanese and I only use those terms when I'm speaking in Japanese, or talking to someone who understands Japanese. I also hate when people who speak another language constantly say "Yo" or "man" at the beginning and end of there sentences in english. Over kill. They truly abuse those phrases.

I will admit that I do say "aish". It has become a habit, so I say it without realizing it.
I only find it annoying when people who are not serious about studying the language and culture use these phrases too often.

[faintbliss]

i can really relate because it's like when people say meimei/didi/gege/jiejie... it's fine with me and even kind of cute when you use it amongst your friends, or people you know well because it's like a little nickname, a sign of affection. but when people you completely don't know go around calling people that it's kinda annoying. and no racism meant here, but when people who aren't even chinese say these things, they just kind of come off being wannabe-ish. :\

[xiao jia]

Unless it's my korean boyfriend or a korean guy friend who requests for me to call him 'oppa,' i don't use those terms. I'm not korean. Why would I use them, y'know?
