This is where I tap those of you lot who accept trained in Korea in a grade completely in Korean.

Here in America, we're fond of responding "yes sir" to every control of the instructor. Do Korean students respond the aforementioned way in Korean, or do they respond another way? I occasionally train with some TSD friends who use a mixture of Korean & Japanese in grade. When the instructor gives a command, the students but say "aye" in Japanese.

Thanks for your help. Expect a few days, I'chiliad sure I'll have another odd question that I think at two:00 am.:ultracool

The usual reply is "Ne Sa Bum" or "Ne Qwang Jang". Some old schools still add the "Nim" at the end, but only in america.

Don't forget that in some languages, the honorific equivalent of "sir" or "ma'am" is added as function of the tense, rather than being a separate word. I don't know if this is the case -- but information technology's worth remembering.

The usual answer is "Ne Sa Bum" or "Ne Qwang Jang". Some erstwhile schools even so add together the "Nim" at the end, but only in america.

AFAIK, you lot should e'er add the honorific "-nim", when adressing a higher rank. When travelling with a Korean TKD group, the only moments when they used "sabum" instead of "sabumnim" was adressing a junior, like an 8th Dan speaking to a fifth Dan. The other way around it was always "sabumnim".

Here in America, nosotros're addicted of responding "yes sir" to every command of the instructor. Do Korean students respond the same way in Korean, or practice they reply some other way? I occasionally train with some TSD friends who employ a mixture of Korean & Japanese in class. When the instructor gives a control, the students only say "yes" in Japanese.

Thanks for your assist. Wait a few days, I'm sure I'll accept another odd question that I think at 2:00 am.:ultracool


I take establish in Korea that they will respond either 'Ne' or 'Ne sabumnim/Kwanjangnim' (if Inferior to Senior).

Not to sidetrack the word by why Japanese in TSD classes?

I'm not sure, but I recall it was the mode they were taught. They interchange Japanese & Korean all the fourth dimension. Weird huh?

Take to become with gizmo on this. I have been teaching TKD in korea for about 2 years now and we always use nim even parents just phone call me sabumnim. nim at the stop notes respect and is at the end of near titles.

I affair i will add is almost the 8th dan talking to the fifth dan. If we know each other well the eighth would simply say sabum but if you are just acquaintances or not that familiar with the person they tend to add the nim. But that being said it also depends on the size of their ego. A funny case of the ego is on of my university profs. who doesn't have much of a resume but a university degree and a eighth dan (withal very impressive...merely keep reading) has a huge ego and e'er uses sabum which never bothers me. Just I'1000 sure alot of you have heard of lee kyu hyung (if not google him...amazing martial creative person and person) is another one of my profs. and is ane of the greatest masters in the world if not the best (my opion of class) is the nearly apprehensive man i accept e'er met and always adresses me sabumnim

Promise this helps

Have to become with gizmo on this. I have been educational activity TKD in korea for about ii years at present and we always utilize nim fifty-fifty parents just call me sabumnim. nim at the end notes respect and is at the end of near titles.

One thing i will add is about the 8th dan talking to the 5th dan. If nosotros know each other well the 8th would only say sabum but if you are just acquaintances or not that familiar with the person they tend to add the nim. But that existence said it also depends on the size of their ego. A funny example of the ego is on of my university profs. who doesn't take much of a resume but a university caste and a 8th dan (still very impressive...but keep reading) has a huge ego and always uses sabum which never bothers me. But I'm certain alot of you have heard of lee kyu hyung (if not google him...astonishing martial artist and person) is another ane of my profs. and is one of the greatest masters in the world if not the best (my opion of course) is the almost humble human being i accept ever met and always adresses me sabumnim

Hope this helps

It does help, thank you.

I had the opportunity to come across GM Lee final summer at the Hanmadang hither in the States. He was very gracious to me likewise. He signed my KKW textbook on the Han soo page.

I've e'er understood the nim honorific. But to my original question... So when the instructor leading the class class tells the grade to line up, or stand upwardly (or whatsoever) the grade responses "Ne Sabumnim!" Is this the norm in a Korean class, or is information technology just done speedily in silence?

If it'southward a good friend you can say "Ne Hyung-Nim" as a kind of a joke. Information technology's similar responding to someone very old and loftier in stature, like a King style.

Least that what my wife tells me.

I know my blood brother-in-law e'er laughs when I say it to him :)

I have very limited preparation in a Korean environs / martial art, but I'm assuming it'south because of the Japanese occupation. Koreans now use some Japanese words considering they were forced to for so long. That's just my judge, though.

First names for everyone, we only teach the children TSD and they are taught Japanese and Korean names for everything as well as counting. Our students stay for just a couple of years as their parents will be posted out so nosotros try to make sure the children will be able to fit in whatever style their next martial arts class volition be. We aren't afflilated to anyone so take no 1 above usa in form.

You asked for those who had trained in Korea...in my experience, if asked a question, information technology was but "ne" or "ye" (both meaning yeah). No "sir" or any other term of respect usually. No need - equally JKS said earlier, the respect is intrinsic in the linguistic communication, the honorifics are included in everything, so at that place is no need for additional titles. If ane was used, information technology would be sabumnim if anything.

As for lining upwardly, in the classes that I attended, information technology was only washed silently. But and so in my classes in the US, it was washed that mode also!

You asked for those who had trained in Korea...in my feel, if asked a question, information technology was merely "ne" or "ye" (both meaning yeah). No "sir" or any other term of respect usually. No demand - equally JKS said earlier, the respect is intrinsic in the linguistic communication, the honorifics are included in everything, so there is no need for additional titles. If i was used, it would be sabumnim if annihilation.

Equally for lining up, in the classes that I attended, it was just done silently. But then in my classes in the US, it was done that style also!


Nosotros line upwardly silently, no tradtion I just like quiet at the beginning of the class, give them a couple of minutes to settle and think most what they are going to practise.
We've taught the kids to bow continuing and kneeling, I'll show them whatsoever other ways people do it also if anyone has anything different?
