"Name" for song or movie? In English, we ask "what is the name?" of a song or movie. Is "name" used in this way in Korean? Would it be correct to ask something like: "이노래의 이름 뭐예요?" Thanks!

"Name" for song or movie? For a name of a song, movie, novel, etc, we use 제목, which can be translated as "title". 이름 is used for the name of people, groups, pets, organizations, places, roads and buildings, etc - something that exists actively. For artistic and other works, 제목 is the right word (although "name" is used sometimes): "이 노래 제목이 뭐예요", "그 영화 제목이 뭐죠", "그 책 제목을 모르겠다", "논문 제목", etc.
