부모님께 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Respectful way to say 'to parents'.
- Used when directing actions or words to parents.
- Combines 'parents' with the honorific particle '께'.
- Essential for showing filial piety in Korean.
- Meaning
- The Korean phrase '부모님께' (bumonimkke) is a polite and respectful way to refer to one's parents, specifically when addressing them or directing an action towards them. It combines the word '부모님' (bumonim), meaning 'parents,' with the honorific particle '께' (kke). This particle is used to show respect towards the recipient of an action or statement. Therefore, '부모님께' literally translates to 'to parents' in a highly respectful manner.
- Usage
- This phrase is primarily used in situations where you are speaking directly to your parents, writing a letter or message to them, or describing an action that is directed towards them. It's common in everyday conversations, especially when expressing gratitude, making requests, or sharing news. For instance, when thanking your parents, you would say '부모님께 감사드립니다' (I thank my parents). When wishing them well, you might say '부모님께 건강을 기원합니다' (I wish my parents good health). The use of '께' signifies a higher level of politeness and consideration, which is deeply ingrained in Korean culture, especially when referring to elders or respected figures. It's a fundamental expression of filial piety and respect. When you are talking about your parents to someone else, you might use '부모님께서' if they are the subject of the sentence, or simply '부모님' if they are the object or topic without a specific particle indicating direction or respect towards them. However, when the action is specifically directed *to* them, '부모님께' is the appropriate and respectful choice. It's also used in formal settings like speeches or announcements when referring to parents in general or one's own parents with deference.
When writing a letter to your parents, you would begin with 부모님께.
Saying 'I am grateful to my parents' uses the phrase 부모님께 감사드려요.
When you want to convey a message to your parents, you say 'This message is for you, 부모님께.
- Cultural Significance
- In Korean culture, respect for elders, especially parents, is paramount. The language itself reflects this through various honorifics and particles. '부모님께' is a direct manifestation of this cultural value, ensuring that interactions with parents are always imbued with politeness and deference. It's not just about saying the right words; it's about conveying the right attitude of respect and love.
- Grammatical Function
- Grammatically, '부모님께' functions as a particle phrase, specifically an indirect object or adverbial phrase indicating the recipient or direction of an action. The particle '께' is a respectful alternative to '에게' (ege) or '한테' (hante) when referring to people, especially those older or of higher social standing. It modifies the verb or predicate, specifying to whom something is being done or said.
- Direct Address
- When you are speaking directly to your parents, you can use '부모님께' to indicate that your words are for them. This is common in letters, emails, or even spoken conversations when you want to be particularly respectful.
사랑하는 부모님께, 안녕하세요.
To my beloved parents, hello.
- Expressing Gratitude
- A very common use is when expressing thanks. You would say you are giving thanks 'to your parents'.
항상 저를 응원해 주시는 부모님께 감사드립니다.
I am grateful to my parents who always support me.
- Making Requests or Giving Gifts
- When you are giving something to your parents or asking them for something, this phrase is used to indicate the recipient.
이번 생일 선물은 부모님께 드리고 싶어요.
I want to give this birthday present to my parents.
- Sharing Information
- When you are conveying information or a message that is specifically intended for your parents.
이 소식은 부모님께 꼭 전해주세요.
Please be sure to deliver this news to my parents.
- Wishing Well
- When expressing wishes or prayers for your parents' well-being.
항상 건강하시기를 부모님께 기원합니다.
I wish for my parents to always be healthy.
- Family Gatherings
- During holidays like Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) or Seollal (Lunar New Year), you'll frequently hear this phrase used as people express their gratitude and well wishes to their parents. For example, a child might say, '맛있는 음식 준비해주신 부모님께 감사드립니다' (I thank my parents for preparing the delicious food).
During a family meal, someone might say, '이 떡국은 부모님께 제일 먼저 드려야죠.' (We should offer this rice cake soup to our parents first.)
- Letters and Cards
- When writing letters or cards to parents, it's almost standard to begin with a phrase like '사랑하는 부모님께' (To my beloved parents). This sets a respectful tone for the entire message.
A typical opening for a letter could be: '존경하는 부모님께, 어떻게 지내시는지 궁금합니다.' (To my respected parents, I wonder how you are doing.)
- Speeches and Public Addresses
- In formal settings, such as graduation ceremonies or award presentations, speakers often express their gratitude to their parents using this respectful phrasing. For instance, a graduate might say, '이 영광을 부모님께 돌립니다' (I dedicate this honor to my parents).
During an awards ceremony, a recipient might say: '이 상은 부모님께 바칩니다.' (I dedicate this award to my parents.)
- Everyday Conversations
- Even in casual conversations with siblings or other family members, when discussing something that involves or is directed towards parents, this phrase might be used to maintain a sense of respect. For example, '언니, 이 선물 부모님께 같이 전해드리자.' (Older sister, let's deliver this gift to our parents together.)
When discussing plans for a family visit, one might say: '다음 주말에는 꼭 부모님께 인사드리러 가자.' (Let's definitely go to greet our parents next weekend.)
- Using '에게' or '한테' Instead of '께'
- The most common mistake for learners is using the standard polite particles '에게' (ege) or '한테' (hante) instead of the honorific '께' (kke) when referring to parents. While '에게' and '한테' are correct for general polite speech, they lack the necessary level of respect for parents. Using them can sound dismissive or impolite, even if unintentionally.
Incorrect: 부모님에게 감사해요.
Correct: 부모님께 감사해요.
- Omitting the Particle Entirely
- Sometimes, learners might omit the particle altogether, simply saying '부모님 감사해요' (Parents, thank you). While the intent is clear, it's grammatically incomplete and lacks the politeness conveyed by the particle '께'. The particle is crucial for indicating the direction of the action or sentiment.
Incorrect: 부모님 사랑해요.
Correct: 부모님께 사랑해요. (Or more naturally, 부모님을 사랑해요 - I love my parents, but for direct address or dedication, 부모님께 is used.)
- Confusing with Subject Particles
- Another error can arise from confusing '부모님께' with subject markers like '께서' (kkeseo). '께서' is also an honorific subject marker, but it indicates that the parents are the *doer* of an action, not the *recipient*. For example, '부모님께서 오셨어요' (My parents have come) uses '께서' because the parents are the subject performing the action of coming. '부모님께' is used when the action is directed *towards* them.
Incorrect: 부모님께 오셨어요.
Correct: 부모님께서 오셨어요. (My parents came.)
- Overuse or Misapplication
- While '께' is highly respectful, it's specifically for people. Using it for inanimate objects or in situations where a different particle is needed would be incorrect. The context must clearly indicate that the action is directed towards parents.
Incorrect: 책을 부모님께 주었어요. (If '부모님께' is meant to mean the book is *for* them, it's okay, but if it's meant as a direct recipient of the action of giving, '부모님께' is correct.) A more direct object construction would be '부모님께 책을 드렸어요.' (I gave a book to my parents.)
- 부모님에게 (bumonim-ege)
- This is the standard polite way to say 'to parents'. While '부모님께' is more respectful, '부모님에게' is also acceptable in many contexts, especially when the level of formality is slightly lower or when speaking to peers about one's parents. However, for direct address or when utmost respect is desired, '께' is preferred.
- Example Comparison:
- - 부모님께 감사드립니다. (I am deeply grateful to my parents. - High respect)
- - 부모님에게 감사해요. (Thank you to my parents. - Polite, standard)
- 부모님한테 (bumonim-hante)
- This is the informal spoken alternative to '에게'. It is used in casual conversations among friends or family. It is generally not appropriate to use '한테' when referring to parents, as it lacks the required respect. The use of '께' is strongly recommended for parents.
- Example Comparison:
- - 부모님한테 말했어요. (I told my parents. - Informal, generally avoid for parents)
- - 부모님께 말씀드렸어요. (I respectfully told my parents. - Preferred)
- 부모님께서 (bumonim-kkeseo)
- This is a crucial distinction. '부모님께서' is an honorific subject marker, meaning it indicates that the parents are the ones performing an action. '부모님께' indicates that the parents are the recipients of an action. Confusing these two will lead to grammatically incorrect sentences.
- Example Comparison:
- - 부모님께서 저를 사랑하세요. (My parents love me. - Parents are the subject)
- - 부모님께 사랑한다고 말했어요. (I told my parents that I love them. - Parents are the recipient of the statement)
- 아버지께 / 어머니께 (abeoji-kke / eomeoni-kke)
- These are the singular, respectful ways to refer to 'father' and 'mother' respectively, followed by the honorific particle '께'. If you are addressing or referring to one parent specifically, you would use these. '부모님께' is used when referring to both parents collectively.
- Example Comparison:
- - 아버지께 전화를 드렸어요. (I called my father. - Singular father)
- - 어머니께 용돈을 드렸어요. (I gave pocket money to my mother. - Singular mother)
- - 부모님께 선물을 드렸어요. (I gave a gift to my parents. - Both parents)
