Did anyone notice the upside-down cue card before reading this comment? 이 코멘트 읽기 전에 큐카드가 거꾸로 되어 있는 거 알아차리신 분? ㅎㅎ

[_nyangracha]

Not sure if it's a coincidence, but 남 = man and 편 = side. So 남편 is like the man on your side. I think that's so sweet!

Always, thank you so much for the great video! 감사합니다!

부부 kind of looks like two people holding hands

[wahiba]

ㅇㅇ 아빠 in arabic countries, especially middle east, people used to say it, so it"s same as korean, أبو علي Abo Ali, which means Ali's 아빠, so we call th father or mother this way, abo ali for Ali's 아빠 and oum Ali for ali's 엄마

[frantebeza]

“The baby’s father” or “the husband”? Well it depends on how I feel, in the morning 😂

[PPooja]

Even in India they do the same, example - *pooja ke papa* or *pooja ki mummy* if they are talking to someone, and even people around when they call my mom or dad they usually say my name or my brother's name first and call them

.ex- pooja ki mummy
Santosh ke papa
🤣🤣🤣🤣 soo it's common

ㅇ ㅇ 아빠/ ㅇ ㅇ 엄마
We have that in Arabic as well! Usually, married men and women are addressed in a respectful way by calling them, "Abo X" meaning X's Father, or "Em X", meaning X's mother. It's formal and respectful. It's so interesting that you say that too.

I love this lesson... I found it really interesting how the designations have evolved thru time. I'm not shocked about the old expressions because they probably used to be very respectful. In Algerian Arabic I've heard my mom refer to my late Dad with an Arabic word meaning the "owner of the house" when she would say her husband. In French my mother tongue, the equivalent of spouse is rarely used. But my husband and myself still use it when referring to each other when talking to other people. It shows a certain respect. About using the name of eldest child or baby child this is common in other languages such as Arabic. All these words refer to different status and sociological, historical evolutions among others. As to referring to the baby's name to call the wife or husband, the motherhood/fatherhood is stressed and to me as a mum it shows a lot of respect. But maybe I'm too oldish style.

[Rita_Arya]

Actually, in my native tongue too, we have a lot of words for husband and wife, some of them are still used and some are obsolete ones... So it was really easy for me to relate in my native tongue than English
Thank you for the video, though I had the chance to search up a lot of kinships in Korean after I watched "My father is Strange" But the video clarified it further!

[mariaiomorfh]

That was very enlightening! Thank you for summarising so clearly what I've been trying to decode through books and blogs for the past hour!

[NaomiMordi]

Hi. In Nigeria, we often refer to people as so-and-so's mum or dad. It's not weird here.

[luciaperez]

아아 .... 남친 없어....
But let's be ready to use it in the future 😂😂

[Patrick-fdpo]

I stopped breathing when I heard 집사람. It was so funny to me. I love this video. Thank you talk to me in Korean.

It's cute 💖 to say baby's father when u r talking to ur child. Like -:
'Isn't baby's father so handsome ' .
In a cute way.

선현우 선생님 안녕하세요! 물론이죠! 애기 아빠는 가장 사랑스러운 표현입니다. (and 애기 엄마는 ) I think it celebrates comprehensively the very status and accomplishment of husband & wife within a loving relationship; it re-enforce the BOND with endearment and respect!! 💫 가르쳐 주셔서 항상 감사합니다! :)

[yunalee]

If you say " baby's father" or "name_'s father " .. it sounds so cold to me.... It's like we are divorced or something and I avoid talking directly to him ~ But of course it depends on the culture. To it's totally cold

[mandytang]

I think the reason why people say baby’s father or baby’s mother is that the baby learns from his parents. When u call your husband ‘honey’, then ur baby will learn that this person is called ‘honey’.
