i dont know anyone who says it =/
but i wouldnt say it cos that would me make a korean wannabe
and im not the type that copies...
but there should be those terms in other langauges too

[honeybeeshrimp]

be proud of you own race and culture. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP.

[SassyGirl23_35]

over using any term for any language is annoying.


I don't see the harm in learning new languages and using the terms..but I agree with the over using words thing can be bothersome.

[xdanceonx3]

Using 오빠, 언니, etc are good respectful terms imo but when people start overusing them with the whole aegyo thing it gets SO ANNOYING.
Like I know this one fob girl ... she always says 오빠 this 오빠 that to her boyfriend in this whiney voice and its just soooo annoying

[lemoncake0910]

its jsut as annoying as people who are obessed with anime start putting random Japanese phrases in their sentences.
;____; i want to slap those people some times.

lol

especially people who learned some swear words that they hear a lot from their korean/Japanese/Chinese who use them... and they don't realize those are swear words.. and then misuse them during the wrong times...
therefore, they should LEARN what those words mean before they start to use them (and will save some embarrassment).

[french toast]

ohmagahh
it's the most annoyingest thing evar. all these underclassmen are always like "oppa!!" in that cutesy fake voice to my asian guy friends. i get a little creeped out when younger guys call me nuna too, especially when they're like, only a year younger. i've gotten so sick of it to the point that i never use that term. but im okay with it as long they're actually just being respectful and stuff.

[xdeathberry]

ugh. I hate these whiny fob girls at my school.
Or their fobby flirting.
O__o

"OOOOPAA!! ~"

sick man. sick.
lol

I use it only when I have to, such as addressing someone much older than I to be polite.
Not.. to like. be cute.
=__=

[JeannieV.]

hehe i don't like hearing whiny girls saying "oppa" lol..
but i'm viet and when I'm talking to this one korean friend of mine, I say Unnie O~O
to a japanese friend i just say -inserts her name- des!
but otherwise i won't overuse something =X at least i hope not, lol.

[rectitude*]

OMG, why would you say something in korean like that if you're not even korean?
that's something i'll never do.
i find it too weird and i would be pretty annoyed, too, because that's such a wannabe.

[Yunho<3]

So basically to sum it up, what do you think of people that abuse the words oppa/unnie/hyung/noona?

(Mostly pre-teen girls with squeaky voices)

I think they are annoying and a freaking Korean wannabe.

[cheesedoodless]

if any1 (other than korean) say oppa or w.e omg i will straight up tell that person to shut up. thank god i never heard any 1 say it or i'll be hella annoyed byit

[13miracles]

My case is different though

My korean friend called me "em" (younger sis/bro in viet), and she called my friend "chi" (older sister in viet) and i have no problem with that.....

but yeah i can imaging a girl with a whining voice saying "oppa", and that's annoying.

[DRELLA.]

It bugs the crap outa me sometimes. I'm Korean/Viet .. so when I'm with Koreans, I say it.
But when I'm with Viets, I use the viets ways. But I usually call them by their first names :3

[kimchi hana]

I usually find white people using Japanese phrases.
It only bothers me because they have THICK American accents while saying them.
It's cute when people take an interest in other people's culture and language.
I call my Filipino friends "ate" sometimes. It comes out naturally since I'm used to using it.
A lot of people around here don't even know about Korea, so I'm all good.

[k i k a i]

I don't know why everyone's (KOREAN'S in here) are making such a big fuss about it.. no offenese, but it's true as far as I read..
anyways I think it's annoying too, when it's overused or useless.. but in Filipino, Japanese & Chinese they have those words too..

just examples:
Filipino - kuya, ate
Chinese - ge ge
Japanese - onee chan

and blah! I would be glad if non-Filipino's call me "ate" (unnie/nuna), because that shows me that they're felxible and can adapt and be respectful to one's language/culture.. but yeah that's just my opinion.. prolly everyone or many will disagree in here 0_o

and honestly when I'm talking to my older brother (we're not blood related, we're just very close and he's Korean) I also say "oppa", because I think it's inappropriate just to call him by his name (because he's older than me by few years).. and calling him "kuya" (hyung/oppa) in Filipino wouldn't fit either >_<

[ajlee613]

girls watch to many korean dramas.

they think its cute obviously, but when a non korean girl says it. it really doesnt have much effect. its not annoying, somtimes its funny, just doesnt mean much more then a inside joke between the girl and the korean.

[xdeathberry]

I think it really depends on the person saying it / how they're saying it.

If you hate the person or think they're annoying, naturally, you'll be, well, annoyed. lol
If they say it w/ a horrible accent, yeah you'd get annoyed as well. XD

[Chocopiex3]

Sometimes it's annoying because it makes the person saying it sounds like an obsessed wannabe. But oh well, wannabes are everywhere.
You guys must be proud of your Korean influence. (:

[rinnie_chan]

It's getting a bit annoying after a ehile >__________________>

It's like -chan, -san -kun etc. in japanese [anime fans] ....

[coolcoke.]

I'm not Korean myself, but I do find it super annoying.
The only time I've used Oppa was to my older male cousin who lives in Korea.
But that was only one time and none after that because I felt weird saying it ._.
