Korean Honorific Expressions

An Anki-based study resource for Korean honourifics, using five themed decks, sentence breakdowns, visuals and translations to help beginners practise respectful forms in context.

This learning resource focuses on Korean honourific expressions for learners who can already read Korean and want a clearer way to practise polite forms. It is organised into five Anki decks that cover common sentence endings alongside frequently used honourific verbs. Each card begins with a Korean sentence or example and highlights the relevant respectful form.

Flipping a card reveals more support: a related GIF or picture, the full Korean sentence, a word-by-word basic-form breakdown and an English translation. The decks include formal statements and questions, polite requests and prohibitions, and verbs such as 드시다, 주무시다, 계시다, 드리다 and 돌아가시다. Together, the cards create a focused route into forms that depend on context and relationship. This makes it easier to compare a form with its everyday meaning.

Five decks for five contexts

  • Five themed Anki decks for endings and honourific verbs
  • Coverage of ~ㅂ/습니다, ~ㅂ/습니까?, ~(으)십시오 and ~(으)세요 forms
  • Practice with polite prohibitions as well as requests
