Sorry about the links. D: But, okay. Either or. Cool. YAY! I learned something new. Anyways, 'oppa' is the respective term from a younger female to an older male in Korean. Kinda like...an older brother of sort. I think I explained this to Psy once. If I was calling you an old man (in respectives, of course), it would be ajuhshi...

I did explain it with a bit more details.

Dumpling (talk)09:27, 12 November 2011

I see. "Opa" is grandpa in German (and Dutch). I had two opas, but now I've only got one.

Nebuchadnezzar (talk)09:37, 12 November 2011

Ah. Well, in that case. I too only have one opa left. The other, I've never met, but he died a long time ago.

Dumpling (talk)09:38, 12 November 2011

Shouldn't the older male be "아저씨" and not "아주씨"? Or is that a transliteration/transcription thing?

ʤɱ kant18:15, 13 November 2011

아저씨 is right. :D

So it's pronounced "Ah-Juh-sshi"

The other is "Ah-Joo-sshi".

My Korean professors would so go mental on you for not using any standardized transliterations. :P

ʤɱ kant20:04, 13 November 2011

Ahahaha. Probably. Whenever I'm on Koreanwikiproject doing the transcription, some of them throw a tantrum. But they have to realize that sometimes the standardized transliterations are a bit off, so I write them how I see fit. Because I don't feel like writing: "Ah" "Ju" (Juh, like jug) "ssi" (sshi, like sea, except with 'sh") It's bothersome. I go by ear. And I feel that it helps foreigners pronounce it better. Instead of pronouncing it like "Ahjoosee"

But I'm glad you caught that! :D
