문화적 배경
Indirectness is a sign of respect for the listener's emotional state. Directness is valued; 'beating around the bush' is often seen as a waste of time. Indirectness is essential for 'reading the air' (kuuki wo yomu). Directness is preferred in business; indirectness can be seen as dishonest.
Context is Key
