Referring to someone in the second person point of view? Third person point of view? I read that 당신 is outdated, 너 is reserved to people you're close to and 그대 is not really for casual conversations. How would you refer to someone in the second person point of view then? How about for third person point of view? I read that 그녀 isn't really used, but is 그 fine? How else can you refer to someone in the third person point of view? Thank you for your time!
