When asking if someone uses honorifics towards another person, '에게/께 존대하다' (to use honorifics to/for someone) is the correct grammatical structure. '선배님께 존대하세요?' is a polite question using the honorific particle '께' for '선배님' (senior colleague/elder).
Which sentence correctly describes a situation where someone should speak respectfully?
'존대하다' is used when speaking to people older than you or of a higher social status. '어른' means adults/elders, so it's appropriate to use honorifics with them. The other options (friends, younger siblings, dogs) typically do not require honorifics.
Which of the following would be an inappropriate context for using '존대하다'?
'존대하다' (to use honorifics) is reserved for situations where there is a clear social hierarchy, such as speaking to elders, superiors, or respected individuals. With a close friend of the same age, you would typically use casual language (반말, banmal).
