Okay~ I'm sorry about that.

小妹妹(little sister)，小弟弟(little brother)，美女(fair lady)，帅哥(handsome guy)，大哥(elder brother)，大姐(elder sister)，叔叔(uncle)，阿姨(aunt)，爷爷(grandpa)，奶奶(grandma)....

I was worried it would be strange if I translated those into English. And it turned out that my worried was reasonable.

Maybe there are some good translations I didn't know.

If you translate  小妹妹，小弟弟，美女，帅哥，大哥，大姐，叔叔，阿姨，爷爷，奶奶 i will tell about my country ))

I am sorry ~ misha? I didn't intend to start a discussion on Chinese manners. But different views are welcome anyway.

The frequency of using of 您 in China is different from area to area. I know in most of the area in China, using 您 might make people feel distance and unwillingness. But in Beijing, the local there use 您 all the times, making that not surprising any more. The daily talk among Beiing natives are loquacious, and humorous, which is said 贫 in Chinese. I enjoy listening to their conversation. Haha~~ Yeah, I am a big fan of cross-talk.

Yes please hedji, I would like to know them since I am also learning Russian now. That will be even great if you provide some more colloquialisms as well besides those by book :-)

Haha you are right, Joon. And oftentimes you Koreans asking about age makes me ill a little bit (I know it's a cultural thing, you ask that with a view to politeness as well), though guys might enjoy being called 오빠 by young girls haha, but I am western minded in some ways--the age, like one's income, current relationship status and so on, is more of a private concern to me, somehow. I am from time to time called 帅哥 (or 帥哥 in traditional) by strangers and people I meet for the first time wearing a coy-ish smile, indirectly. Sometimes it's a calling as simple as that and sometimes they do mean it when they call it because it makes obvious offense calling someone unhandsome handsome. You can tell HOW they say it. In addition, I think it goes like your compliment or whatsoever being misinterpreted as an insult by listeners with inferior confidence so be careful if you're not 100% sure whether say it or not.

You indeed drew an issue here, Jessie. Sometimes people address me 您 (even though I myself am a native speaker of this language) when they just try to be polite which I however feel "distance" between us when I feel like getting to know him/her more--sure that will be totally fine when I don't, haha.

Yeah~ I got it. Like if I called a senior names, it would be rude in China and also in your country Korea, but it would be okay in America.

Just be assured that Chinese are kind people. Don't be worried, I am sure he will be taken good care of in China.

Thanks for your discussions.
