Hi! Can anyone explain to me why they calling eo by name + ssi? Sorry, I was just really looking for more chp of them but I noticed they call eo with ssi in korean raws haha. I mean i thought ssi sounds too formal or like not really close (?)

*Sorry too if not the right platform or just hoping some translators/k learners will see this q. haha. please help this confused person. (●'◡'●)ノ

    It’s just a particule at the end to show closeness, like how nim shows respect, it’s the equivalent of San in Japanese I think

    Oh thank you! I mean mostly I see couples use either just their name or hyung (if not same age) when you're really close with eo. So I was just wondering to what degree you are close with eo if using ssi. Haha.

    I don’t think there’s a degree of closeness, friends, lovers, close classmates or workmates can use ssi, its just show you’re close but still with a certain level of respect. It’s more formal than « -ah » that is use for someone younger or an equal with whom you’re really close (like best-friend). Well everything I’m saying is based on things I learn in manwha or with K-pop groups so it’s not 100% accurate

    Oh that makes sense. I think I kind of got it now. haha (≧∀≦) yeah i think it's just more formal.
    maybe i'm just not used to reading manhwa where they call eo with ssi. hahaha.
