여러분들은 한국인을 만나 인사를 나눠 본 경험이 있습니까? 이런 경험을 한 외국인 중에는 한국인들이 너무 사적인 질문을 하는 바람에 당황하는 경우가 많다고 합니다.
各位有没有和韩国人互相问好的经验?经历过这种经验韩国人想知道隐私的外国人很多都处在慌张的境况。
Have you ever greet a Korean before? Most foreigners will feel puzzled(upset) as Koreans wish to know about their privacy to some extend.
한국인들은 처음 만난 사람에게 매우 여러가지의 개인적인 질문을 합니다. 보통 이름으로부터 시작하여, 나이, 거주지, 가족상황, 결혼여부, 이성 친구의 유무, 취미 등에 이르기까지 그사람을 이해하는 데 필요한 많은 내용들을 묻습니다. 이런 질문을 받은 외국인는 매우 당황하게 되고, 이에 따라 한국인을 매우 무례한 사람들이라고 색각하기 쉽습니다.
韩国人对初次见面的人常常都提出各式各样关于个人的问题。通常由姓名开始,年龄,居住地,家族情况,结婚与否,有无异性朋友,兴趣等等,问这些必要的问题以了解那个初次见面的人。被问到这些问题的外国人常常都变得非常慌张,随之就很容易认为韩国人是无礼的。
During the first meeting, Koreans always ask different kinds of questions. Normally they begin with the person's name, age, address, family background, marital status, any boy/girl friend, hobbies and such just to get in-depth understanding about the person. These kind of questions when thrown to some foreigners will easily lead them thinking that Koreans are impolite.
그러나 이러한 질문을 받았다고 하여 한국인을 무례하다고 생각하지 마십시오. 이것은 한국인들이 상대방에 대해 관심을 나타내는 방식입니다. 특히 한국인이 처음 만난 사람에게 나이를 묻는 것은 한국어의 경어법을 제대로 사용하기 위해서는 서로의 나이를 아는 것이 필수적이기 때문입니다.
可是,被韩国人问到这些问题请不要认为他们是无礼的。这是韩国人表现他们的关心的方式。特别是会对初次遇见的人寻问及互相了解对方的年龄为了断定使用敬语的必要性。
But please do not think in that way. This is how Koreans express their care. Especially they will wish to know a person's age just to determine whether to use honorific language or not.

you expect those questions to be asked in European culture too :)
do they ask about age? i thought they know that age is a secret to women :P
看不懂~~~
agree! dunno wat...
ask of age so that I can talk with a respectful manner.
i mean Europeans :P
normally Europeans dont ask for age right?
年齡? 日本老人家最愛問 ^.^...
翻译了 =)
이성 친구can translate to bf/gf? hoho~
just say : friends (heterosexual partner, as technical term)
Among Europeans, except conservative English speakers, and especially older people would love to ask young people about their name, age, address (nationality, instead; seldom ask address), family background, marital status, any boy/girl friend, hobbies
It's a little losing good impression to them by not answering their questions and you don't have to give exact and clear answer; i am mid-30s, I am from West Malaysia (optional to tell where you locate!) etc etc...
Special note: Conservative English speakers, so far i know Australian and New Zealanders, it's not nice to ask adult man's age. Better curious about what outdoor sports they do...:)
As for Korean culture, people with higher rank or older age reserve the "privilege" to ask all these basic questions, applicable to their airport staffs and police people. "Age is a woman's secret" is not a nice answer to Korean policeman, you know...As they reserve right to detain you if you don't answer properly :)
that is of course la...if a police as you mana IC, you say rahsia...also kena detain :P
Airport officers as well
as you know after 9/11, many international airport tightened the security check
carrying a baby also under suspect occasionally...

이성 친구: 異性朋友
haha...more worries in Malaysia and Singapore airports
some Westerner men got "octopus hands"..remind them don't simply touch women in airport, else "trouble~ trouble~"
Never spell a word of politics in Singapore airport, their ISA applies to "flippant remarks of terrorism and anti-government"
does that meaning bf / gf?

이성 친구 has slightly serious meaning of 異性朋友 than normal Chinese, in other words: "potential" bf/gf (well, most Japanese/Korean people don't believe in pure friendship of opposite sex...only an activity/business partner or your future love one)
You will be surprised, guys mostly stick to guys. This doesn't mean they are "broken-back-mountain", just more comfortable with same sort, same as group of girls; If lucky, group of Korean pretty girls :))
cool...i like the last few words :P
group of Korean pretty girls :P haha
Uhm, many of them are "fixed" so...appearance confusing....
xuemei u need to train wingcom, "angpao-magic" so that next time u stretch ur hands, angpao drops out instantly like vendor machine :))
...I never say I want to tackle them :P
we all know things are "fixed" sometimes, of maybe too often in Korea :P
Too early to say that,
who knows 1 day u r under Korean lenglui's spell then...Penang-Chinese-Korean community hahaha
Mostly people in Seoul will do. People from Pusan, Taegu, Kangnung prefer to be what they are (and, their Korean is harder to understand; not like what you learn...^^)))
Her parents believe i got ancestor in Masan, funny! haha...
