Hello Abigail,

Aunt, talking about the sisters of your parents, would be:

고모 sister of one's father

이모 sister of one's mother

Enjoy your study and feel free to let us know if you have any inquiries!

Kind regards,

Thanks for posting. It is used to politely refer to men and women that are not members of your family, but your senior or definitely older than you are.

Hi Yana,

Thanks for posting. 부인 means 'wife' in Korean.

Hello Jorleane,

Thanks for posting. 손주 refers to grandchild (regardless of whether it is a male or female), and 손자 refers to grandson.

Hope that was of help!

Best,

Lyn
